...Zdenka Gabalova and Alanna Heiss have done a remarkable job on a very tight budget. A sampling of Socialist Realism was included in a broader Russian exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1977, but otherwise nothing like this show has been seen in America before. The very notion of an American museum asking for Stalinist paintings seems so weird that any interest in them is bound to seem morbid. To look at, say, Vasili Svarog's ebullient 1939 painting of Stalin and the jolly butchers of the Politburo frolicking with smiling children in Gorky Park is like hearing...

...time Collins graduated from high school, at 16, he was determined to become a chemist. Biology, curiously, did not interest him at all. "Somehow," he muses, "I had the notion that life was chaotic and that whatever principles governed it were unpredictable." This prejudice stayed with him through his undergraduate years at the University of Virginia, where he excelled in the hard sciences and avoided biology as if it were basket weaving. But as a Yale Ph.D. candidate in physical chemistry, he took biochemistry, encountering for the first time DNA and RNA, the molecules that carry the code of life...

...notion of interactive rock is in vogue if not yet in practice. The latest Beavis and Butt-head video, I Got You Babe, has the two cartoon metalheads cackling wildly as they put on virtual-reality headsets, plunge into cyberspace and select a "chick" from a computer screen menu. Among the choices: "sexy," "wild" or "was married to dork." The boys choose No. 3, and out pops Cher...

Many other vectors are now being tested. Dr. Ronald Crystal of New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center was jogging one day when he had the inspired notion of delivering genes to the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients using the adenovirus that causes the common cold. "This is a virus that has taken millions of years to evolve to do what it does -- get into the lung," says Crystal, who plans to begin a new set of trials with the virus in the next month or so. One of his challenges is to render the adenovirus harmless and keep it from...

There is already talk of a genetic backlash, a revolt against the notion that we are our genes, or, as one critic put it, that our Genes R Us. John Maddox, editor of the journal Nature, warns that the greatest pitfall of the genome project may be what he calls the "inescapable triumphalism" that accompanies a rush of discoveries, leaving the impression that geneticists know a lot more than they do. Studies claiming to have found genes for alcoholism, for instance, have not held up under scrutiny, but many people still assume such complex behaviors may be predetermined by heredity...
