...party's civil war that her rivals do not. A generation of Republican candidates have courted religious activists with position papers; Liddy courts them with piety. She tries to devote 30 minutes to Bible study every day and can move the faithful with her Scripture-packed story of rediscovering God at midlife. She has opposed abortion except in the case of rape, incest or endangering the life of the mother, but she makes the activists nervous. Antiabortion language had a way of disappearing from drafts of her speeches in 1996. Dole is betting that her faith will overcome any shortcomings...
...something like the Antichrist in Judgment Day 2000 by Richard Wiles, in which the breakdown of all computers leaves America vulnerable to terrorists with nuclear bombs in suitcases and a leftover Soviet doomsday machine called the Dead Hand. Wiles, 45, a onetime marketing director for Christian Broadcasting Network, believes God directed him to write his book. "In 12 months we'll know if I'm right," says Wiles. "If I'm wrong, the worst that will happen to me is I'll be tremendously embarrassed. If other people are wrong and don't listen to me, the worst that will...
Among the Y2K-worried there are also more secular survivalists, believers in the worst-case scenarios who, while they may be Christians too, don't know or care whether the chaos they foresee is any part of God's plan.

Yourdon and his wife are moving from Manhattan to an adobe house near Taos, N.M., that has solar panels and soon a windmill to provide power. "There are so many things...
They figured wrong. The Nazis and the communists may be history, but an even more electrifying force has arisen to put the fear of God into the genome project: the profit motive. Pharmaceutical companies stand to make incalculable billions of dollars by turning genome research into new treatments for a dizzying array of diseases. And the companies that manage to get the information first--and lock up what they find with patents--will profit most...
...turned into a headlong horse race--and the rivalry isn't always polite. The federal genome project, critics carp privately, has been shockingly mismanaged and is sorely lacking in vision. Private efforts, counter some in the public project, are pirate operations that seek to lock critical segments of God's genomic handiwork behind a barricade of patents. Beyond that, they say, speeding up the pace of discovery could lead to slapdash, incomplete results. "If this is the book of life," sniffs Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, in Bethesda, Md., and one of the leaders...
