...hand describing Palmer method circles in the air as he speaks in a voice mellowed in good schools and fine port. Perhaps there is only a pretense of loving, but pretense is everything. As they argue in bed one night, Claus covers his eyes with a bandanna; both insert their earplugs. Then he holds her hand. It makes for a nice portrait of marriage in middle age: deaf and blind and touching in the dark...
Anderson and Blaese are confident that gene therapy could fit the bill. Ideally they would prefer to insert ADA genes into bone-marrow stem cells, which would continuously manufacture blood cells containing the gene and ensure a steady supply of the enzyme. But researchers have yet to find a way to isolate marrow stem cells effectively. Instead, the NIH researchers opted for T cells, immune-system cells that can survive in the bloodstream for months and even years...
Like the retrovirus used by Anderson, Rosenberg's delivery system has been made harmless and endowed by recombinant DNA techniques with a human gene. But this gene codes for tumor necrosis factor, a naturally occurring compound that attacks cancer cells. The altered viruses insert themselves and their piggyback gene into the genetic material of the TILs, which are then injected back into the bloodstream of the melanoma patients. If everything goes as planned, the activated TILs will home in on the tumors like guided missiles, attacking the cancerous cells and at the same time releasing the antitumor factor to help...
...track down information and think of new ways to argue a case." Says AFL-CIO lawyer Walter Kamiat, once a clerk for Justice Thurgood Marshall: "In most chambers, the Justices are looking for all the perspectives in a case. I did not feel it was my function to insert my views in opinions, but it was my responsibility to raise any issues I saw." Justice Department lawyer James Feldman, who clerked for Justice William Brennan, believes that "clerks are more important in the details of how the opinions are written than in how the cases are decided. The more technical...
...ambulance. It left the scene at 7:05 p.m., just 13 minutes after St. Andrew and Tayenaka got the call. St. Andrew monitored Tony's blood pressure while he cradled a portable phone and asked a county trauma center for permission to bring in the case. He tried to insert an IV needle, but the boy, who spoke no English, cried and resisted. "No moveas," St. Andrew cajoled in semi-Spanish. An impatient nurse on the phone demanded a blood- pressure reading. Suddenly Tony stopped crying. St. Andrew shook him gently: "Antonio, Antonio!" The boy began to wail again. Everything...
