Cullen and his team were able to replicate the intricate process using lab mice. They started by identifying the tiniest components of the HSV-1 strain. In its latent stage, HSV-1 produces a single molecular product, called latency-associated transcript RNA, or LAT RNA. Unlike most messenger RNA, LAT RNA doesn't produce proteins, so scientists have never been able to determine LAT RNA's exact function. But by inserting the LAT RNA into mice, Cullen found that it breaks down into even smaller strands called microRNA. Researchers then discovered that it was the microRNA that blocked production...
...Which helps explain why her campaign, as it begins to shut down, has spent so much time been searching plaintively for factors - the rules, the media, latent sexism - to explain the outcome.

Reeves, a film and music critic who has worked for The Source magazine, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times, sees hip-hop as filling the void left by the collapse of the 1960s Black Power movement in defining black identity. The book...
