Redoubling their efforts to unlock the power of the human genome, philanthropists Eli and Edythe L. Broad yesterday pledged an additional $100 million to the biomedical research center they helped launch a year and a half ago as a joint venture of Harvard and MIT.

When the initial donation was made to MIT last year, the gift was considered “seed” money...
...field goal. He then capped the performance with a 56 yard game winning touchdown pass to Kevin Curtis in overtime. Fitzpatrick ended the day with a gaudy 310 passing yards, three touchdowns, and a passer rating of 117.4.

Although he has thrown for 4,000 yds. in each of the past six seasons, tossed 49 touchdown passes last year--breaking Dan Marino's 1984 record--and twice won the NFL's MVP award, the critics chirp that he has never made it to the Super Bowl. "Peyton feels the weight on his shoulders," says John Michael Vincent, an Indianapolis sports-radio host. "There's going to be a lot of disappointment...
