...raising money to combat aids or poverty, if she taught sailing to underprivileged teens as a way to help them see beyond the crime and poverty they grow up in, if she did something for someone else besides herself - then maybe she would deserve the term hero. Cindy Wyneken Freiburg, Germany Aging Gracefully I found the excerpt of Dr. Andrew Weil's book Healthy Aging [Oct. 24] enjoyable reading even though I am not yet 35. It is right to be skeptical of the antiaging industry and the unrealistic expectations that its massive advertising campaigns raise in gullible consumers...
...doesn't take long to find out who's king of the road in Freiburg. "Hey! Are you blind?" shouts an imperious cyclist as a pedestrian ambles into a dedicated cycle path.

Since the play, the setting, the costumes, and the organ are baroque, it is only natural that the acting should also be somewhat in the heroic vein. Any attempt at a careful realism would...
...Rockefeller-sponsored meeting, Potrykus met the University of Freiburg's Peter Beyer, an expert on the beta-carotene pathway in daffodils. They decided to combine their expertise. In 1993, with some $100,000 in seed money from the Rockefeller Foundation, Potrykus and Beyer launched what turned into a seven-year, $2.6 million project, backed by the Swiss government and the European Union. "I was in a privileged situation," reflects Potrykus, "because I was able to operate without industrial support. Only in that situation can you think of giving away your work for free...
