...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. "The Isles of Scilly are one of the warmest locations in the U.K. in terms of mean temperature," says Barry Gromett of Britain's Meteorological Office...
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.

Your report on the class of '05 tragically illustrates how history tends to repeat itself.

Forty years ago, the West Point classes of the '60s were sent to Southeast Asia to fight an equally vague, brutal war, ostensibly to promote freedom in that region. Many of us who served there came back scarred and maimed, and others did not return at all. The aims of our "glorious cause" were never achieved. May fate be kinder to the class...
...result, the Fed post “would be Rubin’s job for the asking—if Rubin wants it,” Henderson says. But the former Goldman Sachs chief does not have a Ph.D. in economics, and “he may not want to roll up his sleeves and muck around in the data for 14 years”—the length of each of the appointed Fed board member’s terms. In that event, a Democratic president might try to curry Rubin’s favor by appointing Summers...
