They were wrong, but their cause was not totally lost. Last week--457 years, several disastrous religious wars and dozens of denominational splits later--Edward Cardinal Cassidy announced Vatican approval, with some caveats, of a Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, toward which Catholic and Lutheran theologians have been toiling since 1967. Some of the Vatican's fine print was shockingly critical of the text, but it let stand without objection the Declaration's grandest statement: "Together we confess: By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part...
Venter says he can do the job faster, cheaper and just as well. In May he announced a joint effort between his center, the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and Perkins-Elmer Applied Biosystems that he says will decipher virtually the entire human genome in three years and cost less than $300 million...
...officers who participated in the mission, several of whom said they believed nerve gas had been used on enemy troops attempting a counterattack on the U.S. forces.

He does charge, however, that...
...mere possibility of such a Clinton-Jiang agreement has officials in Taipei frazzled. China hopes to use better relations with the U.S. as bait, to entice Washington into a joint effort to put pressure on Taiwan. Taiwan is worried that some arm-twisting could be coming. "We believe the U.S. should not discuss the three nos with Beijing," says Chen Chien-jen, director-general of the Government Information Office in Taipei. Adds Vice Foreign Minister David Lee: "We don't want this written down because we don't want Beijing to interpret what independence means...
