...First You Don't Succeed: Restic said that wide receiver Mark Bianchi's 15-yd. gain on a reverse on the winning drive was the key play of the game. The senior split end was dumped for a 9-yd. loss on a reverse earlier in the game...

"Now that we know that RNA can both carry genetic information and serve as a catalyst," Cech wrote last year, "it seems possible that it was the key molecule at the origin of life...
...that laid the foundation for econometrics, which uses mathematical models to study the behavior of an economy. "Every time you open a newspaper and see an analysis of economic trends," said Assar Lindbeck, chairman of the economics- prize committee, "it is based on Haavelmo's econometric theories."

As he points out, the key component for a computer is not hardware but software, the instructions that make the machine work. When programs like Lotus 1-2-3 made the personal computer a runaway success in the early 1980s, IBM and other firms made a strategic decision to let Japan supply the demand for memory chips that U.S. chipmakers...
