...bottles and old food shared space with computer printouts. Graphs charting Yeltsin's progress in the polls hung on the walls, and the entire scene was dominated by a color-coded map of Russia with Post-it notes describing the vote expected in the nation's various regions. A safe stood unused, and documents intended for a shredder remained intact, in plain view...
...that has not happened, and its nonoccurrence is the strongest evidence cited by the faster-growth-is-safe school. Says Laura D'Andrea Tyson, President Clinton's National Economic Adviser: "A couple of years ago, most economists thought the noninflationary unemployment rate was 5.9% to 6.1%.

Would these latest promising treatments have been developed without animal research? Absolutely not, say AIDS researchers.

...phenomenon is here to stay, for a while. Hollywood is launching more than a dozen science-fiction movies within the next year or so. Besides Mars Attacks! (a gleefully nihilistic vaudeville that promises to play Dr. Strangelove to ID4's relatively docudramatic Fail-Safe) and the inevitable sequels and remakes of Alien, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Lost in Space, you'll see big-budget versions of thoughtful sci-fi novels: Carl Sagan's Contact (directed by Robert Zemeckis), Michael Crichton's Sphere (Barry Levinson) and Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (Paul Verhoeven...
