Some of Berlin's coon songs offered what now seems like subversive social commentary. Beneath its jarring...

Intimidation was pervasive during the initial hand-wringing period. What have we done to inspire such rage? What can we do? Sure, we can strike back, but will that not just make the enemy even more angry and determined and fanatical? How can you defeat an enemy who thinks he's on a mission from...

Proteomics is all the rage in Europe as well. The British biotech Oxford GlycoSciences announced this month that it had filed for patents on 4,000 proteins. It has $280 million in cash reserves and is awaiting U.S. and European approval of a drug for Gaucher disease, a rare inherited disorder...
