...eyelid rolling in on the cornea GERMAN SHEPHERDS: Hip dysplasia, which can bring on crippling arthritis, causes problems for this breed IRISH SETTERS: They should be screened for hip dysplasia and also for progressive retinal atrophy, an incurable inherited eye disease that gradually leads to blindness says Geoff Sampson, a geneticist who works for the Kennel Club. But that kind of judging has too often been unrewarding for the dog. In the quest to create the perfect pooch, close relatives will often be mated, sometimes even brother and sister or mother and son. The danger of this practice is that...
...what Tony Blair says Britain needs. He is proud that his party's fat list of pledges for the next term "is not a manifesto for a quiet life." If Blair gets back to Downing Street, no one will be more unquiet trying to produce results people notice than Geoff Mulgan...
Last Wednesday, the morning after President George W. Bush made his prime-time debut, more than a dozen House and Senate Democrats gathered for a postmortem in the L.B.J. Room of the Capitol.

It was one more sign of how profoundly the world has changed since the last time the Democrats sat listening...
...fellow astronomers Wendy Freedman, Robert Kirshner and Geoff Marcy and I were delighted with your exciting article about the renaissance in ground-based astronomy and optical systems [ASTRONOMY, Nov. 13]. The explosion of new telescopes and other state-of-the-art tools is providing astronomers with unprecedented opportunities. What should also be emphasized is the way ground- and space-based telescopes work together. Far from being just a finder telescope for the Keck, as the piece suggested, the amazing Hubble Space Telescope--arguably the most productive astronomical instrument ever--has been a wellspring for investigations with ground-based telescopes. Indeed...
...HEAR THIS INVENTOR: GEOFF BALL Hearing-impaired since he was 8, Geoff Ball waited years for someone to create an implantable hearing device. With none forthcoming, he developed one himself. Vibrant Soundbridge is an external processor linked to a skull-mounted internal receiver. Unlike standard hearing aids, which merely amplify sound, the Soundbridge directly vibrates the bones in the middle ear for a more natural sound quality that clarifies background noise and nearly eliminates feedback...
