...point is not necessarily that Michael Fay should be caned. In this case, an eye for an eye, or an egg for an egg, might be most appropriate; certainly nothing has been perpetrated that a little community service couldn't repair...
What makes MTS1 so significant is its clear role in the cell-division cycle. A cell divides not at will but in response to specific signals, such as growth factors produced by white blood cells rushing to repair a wound. These signals are picked up by receptors on the membrane of the cell and passed along -- like batons in a high-speed relay -- through the interior, all the way to a master "on" switch positioned deep in the nucleus. Not surprisingly, many oncogenes, including one called ras, the first human cancer gene ever identified, are involved in this type...
Critics note, however, that the EPA didn't consider a threshold level for smoking damage. Scientists know cells have the ability to repair damage to their DNA. Can cells fix tobacco-induced changes, and at what level of pollution does the repair mechanism become overwhelmed? The agency regarded all smoke exposure as dangerous and the effects as cumulative. EPA scientists admit that the danger of getting a whiff of tobacco at the baseball stadium is generally not the same as driving in an enclosed car with a chain smoker. "I'd expect the ballpark risk to be minimal," concedes...
...houses will be around awhile, and so will the controversy. Lane began the weapon sweeps in 1988, restricted them a year later to cases involving "immediate threat" after negotiating a court-ordered consent decree with the ACLU, then resumed them after armed gang members chased away repair crews dispatched by the housing authority from a project last August. That led to the restraining order that Judge Andersen has turned into an injunction. Lane says he will respect that ruling -- for now. But "if the circumstances that existed two weeks ago, when we heard 300 shots, exist again, I will search...
...Kyubin trucking company. Hosokawa claims that he repaid the money, but critics say he kept it to fund his campaign to become governor of Kumamoto prefecture the following year. When pressed, the Prime Minister first asserted that he used the cash to purchase an apartment in Tokyo and to repair the roofed gate and plaster wall of an ancestral home. Opposition legislators charge that he bought the apartment before he received the loan. They tracked down the construction workers and determined that they charged only $67,000 for the repair -- and did the work a year after Hosokawa received...
