Ebright hopes myxopyronin will be especially useful in the battle against drug-resistant tuberculosis, a disease for which clinicians have never had a perfect therapy. The success of TB treatment depends on the destruction of active and dormant bacteria to prevent relapse - something that few existing antibiotics have been able to do. One way to kill a dormant cell is to target biochemical processes that continue even in latency - there aren't many of those. But myxopyronin works by interfering with the enzyme RNA polymerase, which controls gene transcription in cells and is necessary for cell survival, dormant...

...debate, McCain returned to the acceptable boundaries of presidential politics with a punchy new stump speech that was plenty critical of Obama but critical on matters of substance, not inference. Obama would raise taxes. He would spend too much. He would "concede defeat in Iraq." And then, in a perfect valedictory to his career, McCain said, "I'm an American. And I choose to fight." It is impossible to say what McCain's fate would have been if he had taken this tough but traditional tack and also chosen Senator Joe Lieberman, the Vice President he really wanted, as former...
