But both McCain and Obama have stressed the need for a new and heartening approach to international relations. Even as he was calling for American leadership on everything from nuclear proliferation to global warming, Obama in Chicago spoke of the need for the U.S. to adopt "the spirit of a partner - a partner that is mindful of its own imperfections." And in his Los Angeles speech, McCain redefined leadership in a sophisticated...
...bacteria to prevent relapse - something that few existing antibiotics have been able to do. One way to kill a dormant cell is to target biochemical processes that continue even in latency - there aren't many of those. But myxopyronin works by interfering with the enzyme RNA polymerase, which controls gene transcription in cells and is necessary for cell survival, dormant...
...lost for homeowners, however. A number of economists have recently proposed new plans to stop foreclosures, seeking mechanisms to buy up and refinance individual home loans. Last week, Congress began discussing a new $150 billion stimulus plan focused on helping individual households.

But this knowledge can make people feel more powerless than empowered. Gene-testing can tell us we're disposed to diseases we can't cure. Medical science can promise amazing treatments while rendering health care unaffordable. Bioengineered agriculture can splice a bouillabaisse's worth of fish DNA into a tomato. Fringe taps into this unease: If we are what we eat--well, what the hell...
