...produce a certain protein that digests drugs in a certain way. Treatments based on the DNA you carry, known as “personalized medicine,” offer a range of benefits over current treatments: more precise doses of potentially toxic drugs, better research into new drugs, and lower health care costs, according to a Mayo Clinic brief. And research into personalized treatments would accelerate if every individual possessed a readout of their...
...replaced Le Pen as the nexus of French discontents, but in defeat Bayrou has given his voters no explicit guidance on how they should vote in the second round. Sarkozy calls himself the "candidate of work" and courts the France that gets up early: he wants simpler labor laws, lower taxes and a leaner public service.

From them, forensic anthropologists at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington determined that the average male inhabitant died at age 25, with women living slightly longer. (At the time, Kelso notes, life expectancy for lower-class residents of London was about 20 years; for the upper class, it was about 40.) To the scientists' surprise, hardly any of the graves contained infants...
...position to extend technical assistance on the environment both to fast-developing nations such as China, and to prosperous peers such as the U.S. Whether it means nuclear power or fuel-efficient cars, if the entire world used energy like Japan, global carbon emissions would be lower. But the Japanese have always been high-tech leaders; what's new is the idea that Japan could take a political leadership position on climate change, working to broker the pacts that will replace Kyoto when the Accord, which the Bush Administration rejected, expires...
