...public interest counselor cannot be judged by the number of students who opt for public interest jobs right out of law school; many factors make the private sector an easier route to take.

So scientists find themselves aiming their magic bullet at a moving target. "We're constantly having to treat new disease," said Marvin Snyder, director of NIDA's medications- development program. "In five years, the problem may not be cocaine, but some drug we haven't even heard...
...city hall, where the Treaty of Rome establishing the European Community was signed in 1957. Although 32 years late to the party, he once again proclaimed his support of a European "commonwealth of sovereign democratic states" and urged that a 35-nation Helsinki conference be convened next year to find solutions to "common European problems...
