Professor of Law, Economics and Finance Lucian A. Bebchuk, Professor of Economics Oliver D. Hart, Ford Professor of Business Administration Michael C. Jensen and Professor of Law Mark J. Roe will be the other four fellows from Harvard...
...energy since the 1970s, tiny Denmark has become the world leader in production of wind technology. Last year Danish companies controlled more than 50% of the worldwide market for wind-energy technology. "Our overall goal is to make Denmark into the Silicon Valley of wind turbines," says Peter Hjuler Jensen, head of the wind program at the Ris? National Laboratory outside Copenhagen. Denmark is not the only European country to have bet heavily on the breeze. Germany now has the world's largest installed base of wind turbines, totaling 8,734 megawatts, which reflects average growth of 45% a year...
...other duties. It was one of the lowest points in his career; he felt he had let down the families of the victims. "You are their hope. They rely on you to find out what happened to their daughters," he says. The following year just a single detective, Tom Jensen, was put in charge of baby-sitting the case--responding to phone tips and keeping track of all the information collected. The "Green River Task Farce" was all but disbanded. And the murderer, whoever he was, remained free...
Reichert had been talking to Jensen for some time about using newly developed DNA-testing technology on evidence they had collected: samples of semen from three of the victims from 1982 and '83 (Mills, Chapman and Christensen) and the sample of saliva Ridgway gave in 1987. The new technology, called short-tandem-repeat testing, or STR, which has been available only since 1997, has revolutionized DNA analysis because of its unprecedented accuracy. STR measures 13 tiny repeating sections in a DNA sample, which effectively represent a unique bar code on any individual's genome. It is now widely used...
...March, Jensen submitted the semen samples and the gauze strip with Ridgway's saliva to Beverly Himick, a forensic scientist in the Washington State Patrol crime lab. On Sept. 4 she called him to say she had some matches. On Sept. 10 Jensen went into Reichert's office and presented the DNA charts without telling Reichert the name of the person they corresponded to. Jensen finally handed Reichert an envelope with a name inside, but before opening it, Reichert said, "It's Ridgway, isn't it?" Then both men broke down in tears. "Twenty years is a long time," says...
