...four U.S. companies that make BST -- Monsanto, Eli Lilly, Upjohn and American Cyanamid -- are having trouble understanding why it is so controversial. They point out that BST is a natural hormone produced by a cow's pituitary gland and present in all milk. In fact, they assert, milk from BST-treated cows has no more BST than regular milk. The companies contend that BST injections would merely enable dairy farmers to produce the same amount of milk with fewer cows. "BST is about efficiency," asserts Monsanto spokesman Laurence O'Neill. Says Stephen White, BST project manager for American Cyanamid...
TIME's Walter Isaacson and Michal Donath were the only journalists present as the two men talked, sitting side by side, Havel animated and excited, Dubcek reserved and stiff. "I was expecting every miracle today except that I would meet you," said the playwright. The aging politician recalled one of Havel's plays, though none have been performed in Czechoslovakia since 1968. Havel leaped up and gathered a stack of foreign editions that had been smuggled into the country. "I will sign them for you in green ink because green is the color of hope, and I am an optimist...

The FCC, meanwhile, is preparing a report on the impact of cable deregulation that is due out next year. In a separate action, the agency has begun reviewing a rule that bars broadcast networks from owning cable systems. The networks already have interests in cable channels...
...cities traded economies, the results might have been reversed. Denver, once riding high on an energy boom, has been slumping for the past four years. Metropolitan-area employment has shrunk by 55,000 jobs, to a present total of 939,100, and real estate values have shriveled; the average Denver house is priced at $79,900, down 15% in two years. Last year more people moved out of the area than moved in for the first time since the Depression years of the 1930s. In that climate, voters bought the promises of Romer and Pena that a new airport would...
