...this translated into an organization which was out-of-touch and always trying to exceed its purpose...
...will Sony and Warner see their record empires crumble? Not for a few more business cycles, at least. According to Jupiter Communications, online-music purchases probably won't exceed $25 million this year--about two-tenths of 1% of the U.S. industry's $12.3 billion total. Even if that number were to grow to 10% by 2000, as Jupiter predicts, most of the revenue is likely to end up in the pockets of the majors. Al Cafaro, president of A&M records, doesn't seem worried about losing Sting or Sheryl Crow anytime soon. "I don't want...
...compete against." In fact, the deal does little to prevent the richer teams from continuing to outbid poorer, smaller market clubs for talent. The only break on salaries is the luxury tax, which forces up to five teams to pay taxes of 35 percent if their payrolls exceed $51 million next season.

In the end, the players got most of what they wanted (no cap on salaries...
Since telomerase keeps these tenacious cells going, is it reasonable to assume that the same enzyme could be used artificially to help mortal cells--and the body itself--exceed their programmed life-span? At Geron Corp., a San Francisco-based biomedical firm, biologist Calvin Harley is trying to find out. Harley, who collaborated with Greider on her later telomere work, is looking for the genes that direct telomerase production, believing he might be able to manipulate them so that the spigot for the enzyme can be turned on and off at will. "I think we are going to see fundamental...
...claim us first. For much of the time our species has been on the planet, that figure is thought to have been a mere 20 years--barely long enough for contemporary people living contemporary lives to move out of their parents' home. The fact that those lives now routinely exceed 80 years is a monumental achievement. A little more progress in studying telomerase, glycosylation and other aspects of senescence science, and researchers like Butler believe there's no reason today's adults could not realistically hope...
