...Welcome to the Club Fed." That is the line rock musicians lay on each other these days when they arrive at the Plant Studios, a rock-'n'-roll recording facility in Sausalito, Calif. The reason for their nervous joke is that the Plant is owned by the U.S. Government. Federal marshals seized the studio in September after its owner was accused of buying the establishment with money from drug manufacturing. The Plant, which has recorded platinum albums for such artists as Stevie Wonder and Fleet-wood Mac, is considered one of the country's ten best studios and rents...
...Once there, vacationers usually hop between the five main islands?Tresco, pictured; St. Mary's, St. Martin's, St. Agnes and Bryher?on the regular ferries. And beyond the intimate, granite-clad harbors with their pubs, tea gardens and lighthouses, Neolithic settlements are scattered along the luscious Gulf Stream-fed moorland, ripe for exploration.

Hundreds more equally promising samples are being fed into the sequencers at JGI, at the J. Craig Venter Institute Joint Technology Center in Rockville, Md., and at other labs around the world. Venter's take from the Sargasso Sea was impressive enough on its own, but he is taking a new ocean sample every 200 miles or so as he circumnavigates the globe. Some 85% of the gene sequences he hauls up are unique to that site, suggesting that each 200-mile stretch of ocean represents a vastly different ecosystem. And that's just from scratching the surface, says...
...they decided to remain, even though the stakes had changed. I salute them and those who are making similar sacrifices. John D.
