...Diego, California, made just such a hit with rituximab, the first drug that successfully targeted proteins on cancer cells. Scientists had learned over the years that cancer cells are studded with an unusually large number of receptacles that compounds essential for survival, including growth factors, can plug into and fuel the cells' growth. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody, a molecule specifically engineered to fit into the receptacles on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cells and, in this case, single out the cancer cell for destruction by the immune system. Back in the early 1980s, monoclonal antibodies were hyped in the media...
UNITED STATES Bush Plans More Power for the People President George W. Bush unveiled a national energy strategy aimed at countering what he described as the most serious power crisis in the U.S. since the 1970s. As Americans reeled from fuel-price hikes that took gasoline to more than $2 a gallon, Bush predicted the country would need 1,300 new gas, coal or nuclear power stations over the next 20 years as well as more oil exploration. While the plan offered some conservation incentives, critics pointed to the Adminstration's proposed opening of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge...

...solution. Critics, not surprisingly, say the comeback of the $43 billion-a-year industry is a step in the wrong direction that will threaten the environment as well as public health and safety. Nor did the Administration's unexpected recommendation to take another look at reprocessing spent nuclear fuel get a particularly warm reaction...
...creeping fear of unaffordable power has President George W. Bush looking for a backup policy generator as he prepares to unveil an energy program this week that is very fossil-fuel friendly--and simpatico with his and Vice President Dick Cheney's long ties to Big Oil. Bush says his policy, which stresses greater production over conservation, is a long-term solution...
