...just saw the space for her [Yenne] to run into," Totman said. "I just kind of knew she was going of be there. That game we were working well together, so I just played it to space hoping she would get there, and she did. She made a really great...
...football game. Stewart was ecstatic when Aaron caught a touchdown pass, which helped carry the team to a 14-8 victory. Aaron received the game ball. The night after Stewart's plane went down, Aaron was clutching it. "Mom, this is a very special ball because Dad saw me get it." Amid all the lingering questions of last week, the golfer's son had one of his own. He wanted to know if he could put the ball in a special place: his father's trophy case...

The 20th century saw the creation of great weapons based on the principles of nuclear physics; the 21st century will see great weapons based on the knowledge of DNA and the genetic code. During the 1980s, the Soviet Union used rudimentary genetic engineering to create incurable strains of Black Death (bubonic plague) that were resistant to drugs. This biotech Black Death was loaded into missile warheads aimed at the U.S. As biotechnology becomes more supple and powerful and as the genetic code of more organisms is unraveled, biologists will learn how to mix genes...
