...world knows Billy Graham, but few outside the Evangelical fold are acquainted with Bill Bright. Yet Bright, whom Graham biographer William Martin calls "one of the most important of a generation of Evangelical titans," may have had nearly as much impact.

Why bother? To study how proteins and nucleic acids fold into their complex structures. That's a matter of considerable interest to drug designers, who tailor molecules to monkey-wrench the proteins that make us sick...

...history. Maybe, if so inspired, they?ll take a shot at the pot in the PGA Tour event in Endicott, N.Y. The B.C. Open suffers the annual misfortune of being held simultaneous with the British Open, which means it will never have Tiger or Phil or Davis in fold. But it also means it gets a host of strong mid-level Yanks who realize that with cats like Tiger away, the mice can play...
