...week's Nature, they wanted to find out how a particular protein, a growth factor called myostatin, regulates the development of tissue. So they produced a strain of mice in which the gene that codes for myostatin had been deleted, or "knocked out." The resulting mutant animals grew up normal in every way--except for their extraordinarily well-developed musculature...
...hasn't evolution produced more mice with rippling chests? "We're just starting to look into this," Lee explains. The burly mice seem to be a little slower and less timid than their normal counterparts. "That probably wouldn't be much of an advantage in the wild," says...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: As Congress prepares to renew the debate on mandatory minimum sentencing, a new study by the RAND Drug Policy Research Center says such sentences are far less effective at reducing drug use and drug-related crime than normal law enforcement and treatment programs. The reason is the high cost of incarcerating prisoners for long periods of time. According to the study, $1 million spent on conventional law enforcement, including more arrests of drug dealers, confiscations, prosecutions and standard-length prison terms, would eliminate 70 percent more crimes against people than spending the same amount on enforcing mandatory minimums...

While the study rates the risk of an accidental nuclear attack as low under "normal circumstances," even one accidental launch could prove deadly. Although Russian missile technically no longer target the U.S., if a missile is launched without a destination it automatically reverts to its original target. Pentagon officials insist there is no evidence that risk of an accidental nuclear attack exists, since codes that control locks...
