...Richard Finkelstein, a noted geneticist at the University of Missouri, recently argued in a letter to Medical School Dean Daniel C. Tosteson that the experiment should be cancelled, one of a handful of protests by leading genetics experts of the planned experiment...
...National Law Journal, a weekly published since September, views itself as "the Wall Street Journal of law" according to Publisher James A. Finkelstein, 30. Son of New York Law Journal Publisher Jerry Finkelstein. James has so far more than 25.000 subscribers (at $48 a year) and is shooting for 100.000. N.L.J.

Analysts praise Finkelstein and crew for slipping Macy's into the modern mainstream of U.S. retailing, and for brightening an important slice of a weary urban America. Financially, the effort is paying off. Business this year-boosted by Sunday openings-could reach nearly $200 million, up more than 10% from last year. Finkelstein anticipates a record Christmas.
