...That leaves the New York Times with its columnists. NYTimes.com used to charge subscribers for most of the paper's opinion pieces. That did not work well enough to be sustained, and the content was later made free along with the rest of the paper...
...Some researchers think the solution is to avoid involving androgen receptors altogether. But Charles Sawyers, a cancer researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), isn't convinced - and he has an alternative. In the new Science paper, co-authored by Sawyers and other researchers at HHMI, the University of California, Los Angeles, and a host of other institutions, data suggest that a new chemical compound may sidestep the problem of resistance. When used to treat mouse tumors that were derived from drug-resistant prostate-cancer cells, the compound led to dramatic shrinkage, which has researchers hoping for a similar...
...most rejuvenating months that I’ve experienced in my career in a long time. 2. FM: Do you think that a lot has changed since you were in college?

...Sean Dennehy, 39, and Don Burke, 43, used the Andrus paper to push the idea of an intelligence-community wiki on their superiors at the CIA. They didn't get very far until the then newly organized Office of the Director of National Intelligence concluded that the idea had potential - and even then it faced stiff cultural resistance. "There's been pushback throughout the whole process," says Burke. Initially, analysts who were asked to participate said they were too busy or just preferred the old, proprietary databases managed by individual agencies...
