...other boys also had experience with firearms. Carneal learned to shoot at summer camp and on a shooting trip with his neighbor's dad (from whom he stole the murder weapon). Woodham kept a map on his wall with the bilious slogan "One Nation Under...
...Pristina. Bleary-eyed and discouraged, Holbrooke has stayed up all night, phoning diplomats in Kosovo and officials at the State Department, the U.N. and NATO headquarters. He is concerned that the next Balkan war could start at Kijevo, a village so tiny that it's not even on the map. A few thousand Albanians, 80 Serb families and 250 Serb military police are surrounded by K.L.A. checkpoints. But no one there is able to tear down the K.L.A. barricades.

Maybe they have a nuclear power plant
...virtually single-handedly--can achieve the goals of the mammoth, federally financed Human Genome Project in less time and at far less cost. That would take some doing. When scientists launched the project in 1990, they estimated it was going to take 15 years and cost $3 billion to map the 60,000 to 80,000 human genes and sequence the 3 billion or so chemical code letters in the genome--the tangle of DNA crammed into the nucleus of each human cell...
...last week's congressional hearing, called to weigh the impact of Venter's venture on the Genome Project, Washington University geneticist Maynard Olson predicted that the Venter map will have more than 100,000 "serious gaps"--regions where the fragments are improperly aligned. "Yes, you'll get a holey map," agrees Rockefeller University professor Norton Zinder, who was chair of the first Genome Project advisory committee. "But we will fill the holes." He anticipates substantial benefits from Venter's plan. "Craig," he says, "has jump-started the sequencing...
