Brown, winners of this event last year as well, used a crushing start to blow Harvard quite simply out of the water. The Bears established an incredible full-length lead in the first 20 strokes and never looked back...
Monty Kessler (Brendan Fraser) is a hyper-motivated government major who already had ten chapters of his senior thesis--on how the federal government sucks--by December. (He mentions that the thesis is 88 pages, which means the chapters average about nine pages in length--what kind of thesis is that? Never mind, though--he loses it.) The silly boy's hard drive crashes, and he does not have a backup on floppy. Rushing through the Yard to Kinko's to xerox his one printed version of the essay, he trips in the snow, and his thesis falls through...
...Shorten the game length to three innings. hell, it doesn't take a math major to figure out that 12-9 divided by three equals 4-3--from hit-fest into a tight, one-run affair in a matter of minutes...
...cells typically have a swollen and misshapen nucleus, believes Johns Hopkins molecular biologist Donald Coffey, is that the proteins that form the nuclear matrix are misaligned in some fashion. Inside the matrix, notes Coffey, 50,000 to 100,000 loops of DNA are coiled like a Slinky, but the length of the loops, and where they begin and end, varies from tissue to tissue. The genes closest to the matrix are those that a particular cell intends to have turned on. Genes meant to stay inactive are much farther away. The conclusion is inescapable: a mutation in a gene that...
...have learned to stop the ticking of the telomere clock. According to research published last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Calvin Harley and colleagues at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, malignant cells foil the clock by producing an enzyme -- telomerase -- that protects the length of the telomere chains. In essence, telomerase makes the cancer cell immortal...
