Around the world people are taking a closer look at the genetic makeup of what they're eating--and growing uneasy with what they see. Over the past decade, genetically modified (GM) food has become an increasingly common phenomenon as scientists in the U.S. and elsewhere have rewoven the genes of countless fruits and vegetables, turning everyday crops into uber-crops able to resist frost, withstand herbicides and even produce their own pesticides. In all, more than 4,500 GM plants have been tested, and at least 40--including 13 varieties of corn, 11 varieties of tomatoes and four varieties...
...Billy Corgan, leader of the alternative band Smashing Pumpkins and the man behind this year's half-brilliant album Adore, was invited by Love to give Hole musical pointers. Corgan and Love later had a falling out over credit, but Hole's ragged punk sound was altered, patched up, rewoven. The group's new sound has the sharp, clean lines of an Armani suit...
...common sense: he believes it would be easier--and cheaper--to comply with a request for documents than pay his lawyer to cope with a subpoena.

...tens of thousands will wend their candlelit way past sculpture and singers, gathering on the Common for fireworks and communal cheer. In Beverly Hills, Calif, 2,000 people had been expected at a modest tree-lighting ceremony; 15,000 showed up. The once tattered social fabric is being rewoven. Across the country, charities report sharp increases in donations of all kinds. In Portland, Ore., the United Way fund drive not only met but exceeded its goal for the first time in a decade. Said Drive Director Howard Studd: "We're really a good barometer of psychological attitudes. People...
...painter at all. The pictures in his current exhibition at SoHo's Emmerich Gallery all involve the general experience, if not the detail, of landscape-not as seen by the eye's perspective, with sky at the top and earth below, but as though taken apart and rewoven into an expansive shifting pattern of space. Wofford, who teaches art at Bennington College, regards a visit he paid to the Southwest in 1968 as one of the key experiences in his work-especially some nights he spent camping on the edge of the Grand Canyon, which provoked a long...
