...reports of HIV cases from UB Plasma blood raised fears among millions who had received transfusions over the past eight years. Hospitals were flooded with calls from former patients, and health administrators faced a rash of cancellations of elective surgery. "People aren't just afraid, they're panicking," said Erhard Seifried of the German Red Cross...
...turn to expiate collective guilt. Margarete Mitscherlich, a Frankfurt psychoanalyst, rejects that equation. "The Stasi is not the Gestapo, and Honecker is not Hitler," she says. "Whatever one can say about the Stasi, we are not now confronted with Auschwitz as we were after Hitler."

...precision with which single atoms can now be manipulated, a skill that could conceivably be used someday to build atom-size transistors or to custom-design molecules. Using an instrument called a scanning tunneling microscope and working on a surface chilled to near absolute zero, researchers Donald Eigler and Erhard Schweizer were able to get individual atoms to respond to the magnet-like tug of a fine tungsten needle. But don't expect to see atom-etching booths at your local science fair. It took 22 hours to haul 35 xenon atoms across the bumpy nickel surface. And when...

Rifkin moves through an audience as if it were his private party, talking, interviewing, questioning and, occasionally but ever so kindly, embarrassing. He will perform for 30 minutes or eight hours, depending on the contract. His basic sermon is an attack on "the Boys," as he calls Francis...
