...proposal, which would cost up to $10,000, might, for example, help Adams House repair its pool table and weight equipment, Unger said. Houses like Quincy would also be able to purchase items like a pizza oven...

Several biotechnology firms have cloned specific chemicals that regulate nerve growth, though none are ready for clinical...
