...brief blackout skits that verge on surreal slapstick; he creates a milieu more than he mounts a debate. Like a cinematic montage, the story jumps from Raskolnikov to his family, his destitute neighbors, a deranged friend caught in a suicidal religious ecstasy and, occasionally, the inquisitor who seeks to extract Raskolnikov's confession. This structure is meant to evoke Raskolnikov's disconnection: only with a dead friend's daughter Sonya (Kate Fuglei) does he show tenderness...
Lyubimov was inspired to stage his original Moscow version, he says, by reading the essays of schoolchildren, an extract from one of which provides the coda to the show: "So, Raskolnikov was right to murder the old woman. Too bad he got caught." In Lyubimov's view, the child was echoing the amoral views of a teacher and, in turn, the state. An attentive father who travels everywhere accompanied by his second wife Katya, a Hungarian, and son Piotr, 7, Lyubimov will next mount an adaptation of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita at the American Repertory Theater at Harvard...
According to Steven Rosenberg, a senior analyst with Paul Kagan Associates, an investment firm based in Carmel, Calif., the key to any studio's continuing movie dominance is its ability to extract follow-up value from big hits. There, Mancuso and Paramount are acknowledged masters; one Paramount executive calls the studio's Star Trek rights a "family treasure." Mancuso is encouraging Paramount to sign exclusive contracts with proven money winners like Comedian Murphy, and to promote greater in-house production. Says he: "You can't leave the fortunes of the studio to outside forces." Concurs a former Paramount executive...
...initial impetus for the research came from a rather oblique direction. UCSD Biochemist Marlene DeLuca has been investigating for 20 years how the firefly protein -- in this case, an enzyme called luciferase -- produces light. But the process of collecting and grinding up fireflies to extract the enzyme was laborious and costly. She and Donald Helinski, a molecular geneticist, decided to isolate the luciferase gene, cloning exact copies of it and splicing it into the genetic machinery of the common bacterium E. coli. The E. coli could then massproduce luciferase by the vat. DeLuca and Helinski accomplished this task by using...
Subsequent experiments showed that the mysterious substance was also present in snake venom and mouse salivary glands. It was left to Cohen, a pipe-smoking individualist, to extract the first pure samples of the protein now known as nerve growth factor. Later, working separately, Cohen discovered epidermal growth factor, which governs cell development in the skin. He also located a protein on the surfaces of cells that acts as a receptor...
