Nor is it right that Kennedys should have to compete for office and risk the indignity of, one day, losing. The British would never permit, say, Prince Andrew or his intended, "Fergie," to be so tarnished. There must be a better...
...agricultural products containing genetically engineered live organisms. The defeats have been caused by a maze of confusing Government regulations, harassing legal actions and in some cases the industry's own blunders. Only last month, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency fined Advanced Genetic Sciences $20,000 and suspended its permit to field test a preparation called Frostban, which contains re-engineered bacteria designed to retard the formation of frost on plants. The agency charged that the Oakland firm misrepresented data and violated the national pesticide-control law by conducting outdoor tests without a permit. (EPA officials had been alerted...
...A.G.S. executives, the suspension of their permit to field test Frostban marked still another in a series of frustrating delays. As long ago as 1982, the company began partly financing the research efforts of Steven Lindow and Nickolas Panopoulos, plant pathologists at the University of California, Berkeley, who were attempting to engineer bacteria that would inhibit the formation of frost on plants. Their long-range goals: to extend the growing season and reduce crop damage caused by unseasonal frosts, which costs U.S. farmers at least $1.5 billion every year...
