Whenever I want to feel optimistic, I think about work in progress in the laboratory of Seymour Benzer of the California Institute of Technology. Benzer made the first detailed map of a gene's interior, and he and his student Ronald Konopka discovered the first so-called clock gene, which ticks away inside virtually every living cell, helping tell our bodies where we are in the daily sweep from morning to night.

...ONLINE Yes, e-death was inevitable. You can now buy an 18-gauge-steel Pieta model casket with velvet interior for $845 at eCasketz.com Even when you tack on as much as $500 for overnight delivery, you'll end up paying less than the $2,400 some mortuaries charge. But the Net has its limits--you'll still need help getting into that casket. Undertakers have tried to recoup dollars lost to cut-rate casket sellers by raising their service fees, up 9.6% over the past two years, to an average of $1,182. These fees account for about...
