...they'd never yield new neurons. Now the scientists have at least two options to consider. They can train stem cells to produce nerve tissue in a petri dish and then implant the new tissue in an ailing brain. Or, as Fred Gage at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif., suggests, they can tweak the brain's stem cells to start churning out new neurons. If you could do that, Gage says, "it would take away the controversy over embryonic research...
...lost civilization. Torts. Civil procedure. What is he talking about? Dave would hardly recognize her now, with her navel ring, Balinese warrior tattoos and baggy Thai fisherman's pants. Tamara, this retiring, freckled brunette with a narrow body and tiny waist, this daddy's girl from La Jolla, Calif., roves the beach barebreasted in daylight and raves the night away at Full Moon parties or up at the Backyard trance club. She will tell you, seriously, that what is going on here is a whole new civilization. One in which those laws that Dave is studying just don't apply...
Freshley, who lives in La Jolla, Calif., is an apostle of swimming. "Before 50, swimming is optional," he says. "After 50, it's mandatory.

Rumors that Stevenson's birth father was a famous athlete had swirled for years in California, where she played junior tennis and attended La Jolla Country Day School. Dark-complexioned Alexandra, 6 ft. 1 in and powerfully built, had shrugged off the talk, commenting only that her Caucasian mother had played both parental roles. That pat answer might once have been enough, but her run at Wimbledon renewed the speculation. Last week a Florida newspaper published a birth certificate listing her father as Julius Winfield Erving II. That's basketball legend Dr. J, the dignified, eloquent superstar whose spectacular play...
Drumsticks, anyone? If you're partial to chicken legs, here's good news for you. Thanks to some clever genetic engineering, scientists at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif., have come up with a way to grow birds with an extra pair of legs...
