...early enemies. Instead of wanting us shut down, as they did as late as 1991, they now beg us to move quickly on to the genomes of the mouse, the rat and the dog. Equally important, we note that no other big science project, save possibly the Manhattan Project, has been carried out with such zeal for the common good. In sharing their sequences so freely and so quickly, members of our genome community have little time left to promote their scientific reputations...
...could have passed." The line haunted her in more ways than one. It took decades to settle the rabbi's implied religious query. It was only in 1984 that Lind stood on a Manhattan corner and heard what she describes as "the voice of God" calling her to the Episcopal ministry, into which she was ordained in 1987.

...visit to the home of Nina and Tim Zagat, the restaurant-guide magnates, who served as tasting judges on the Flay show (joined by Donna Hanover and a randomly selected audience member).

Things didn't go well for the owner of the Southwestern-influenced Mesa Grill. "You ever see pro wrestling?" he said after the match...
...leafy suburban backyard about an hour's drive south of Manhattan, a tableau of choreographed violence is taking shape. A dozen boys have gathered on a miserably hot Saturday afternoon. They've set up a video camera, loudspeakers and a wrestling ring. Steve Toth, 16, provided the yard. But his mom Colleen has retreated indoors. She'd rather not watch as the teenagers punch, kick and insult one another, as they do most Saturdays...
