...companies alike try to get their hands on nuggets of the golden polymer. The leader of the pack is Ambergene, which has spent the past two years "mining" ancient amber from 15 locations around the globe, from Burma to the Baltic Sea. Already, says president and co-founder Robin Steele, Ambergene scientists have identified filamentous fungi similar to those that have produced a distinguished line of antibiotics. They have also brewed batches of ale with ancient yeast. Beer buff Cano was named official taster of the new brew, dubbed Jurassic Amber Ale (a slight misnomer since the yeast used...

Last week ABC held a press conference to announce the launch of a new G.H. plot line revolving around dyslexic heartthrob Stone Cates (Michael Sutton).

Nearly four months after the opening of the O.J. Simpson murder trial, the prosecution introduced its most damning evidence: the apparently incriminating results of DNA blood tests. Forensic scientist Robin Cotton testified that a blood drop found at the crime scene matched Simpson's -- with a 1-in-170 million chance it could have been someone else's-and that blood found on a sock at Simpson's estate matched his slain ex-wife's, with an even smaller margin of error. On cross-examination, the defense repeated its dual themes that the blood sent to Cotton...
