...feeling a lot of anxiety," she says glumly. "I'm not really sure I want to hear those numbers yet." Although she is deeply disturbed by the test results, her case nonetheless shows how Duke is able to move its cutting-edge research quickly into the realm of patient care. Kristen's gene mutation was diagnosed in a Duke laboratory run by Andrew Futreal, a researcher who had a hand in the discovery of one breast cancer-susceptibility gene--known as BRCA1--and who co-discovered a second, BRCA2.

As Clinton Press Secretary Mike McCurry noted, "the press has but one speed on this story and it's fast forward with too few editors who press the pause button." In a realm where the impatient reader can download the relevant information (say, the Starr report) within minutes of its release, the multimedia corporations live and die based on whether they can attract consumers quickly and refer them to the other resources and media outlets they...
