...welter of recriminations, sadly enough, a crucial OAU report warning of "impending disaster" for Africa's deteriorating economies was given short shrift. The perfunctory debate over the study, which recommended the creation of a Common Market for the continent, tended to justify a sad remark by Liberian President William Tolbert.

Still, the scientists hope that within two years vats of genetically redesigned E. coli will be acting as minifactories, churning out sufficient somatotropin to treat dwarfism. There may also be enough to test a long held suspicion: that HGH can help heal burns, wounds, bone fractures and even bleeding ulcers...
