...plan to continue, I don't know what avenue, but I am going to seek a lot of advice and a lot of leverage on campus, says King. "Everything I talked about except the $40,000 idea we can essentially do, even though I wasn't elected." (The King-Driskell plan called for the council to spend a portion of the $40,000 in newly found council funds toward the building of a student center, as a gesture to the College of student commitment to community...
Osama bin Laden: Acquiring weapons for the defense of Muslims is a religious duty. If I have indeed acquired these weapons, then I thank God for enabling me to do so. And if I seek to acquire these weapons, I am carrying out a duty. It would be a sin for Muslims not to try to possess the weapons that would prevent the infidels from inflicting harm on Muslims...
When I started writing this column last summer, I assumed I'd get more questions about stuff like Monimals than, say, the vagaries of 3-D accelerators. And, frankly, it's a relief: Millions of people are buying computers for the first time, and the advice they seek tends to be on the practical (if not whimsical) side. There are a lot of beginners out there. For instance, every week I point people to our website, timedigital.com for more information about the column's topic. Invariably, I get e-mail from readers saying something like: "I tried to look...
...decode the human genome, in short, has turned into a headlong horse race--and the rivalry isn't always polite. The federal genome project, critics carp privately, has been shockingly mismanaged and is sorely lacking in vision. Private efforts, counter some in the public project, are pirate operations that seek to lock critical segments of God's genomic handiwork behind a barricade of patents. Beyond that, they say, speeding up the pace of discovery could lead to slapdash, incomplete results. "If this is the book of life," sniffs Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, in Bethesda...
Testing is, of course, already commonplace. As many as 9 out of 10 pregnant women in the U.S. submit to some prenatal screening. Typically, this involves sampling the mother's blood--so-called serum-alpha-fetoprotein testing to seek out telltale proteins that may indicate spina bifida, neural-tube defects or Down syndrome--or looking directly at the fetus with ultrasound scans. For women over 35, doctors usually recommend more invasive procedures in which actual fetal cells are gathered from the womb's amniotic fluid (amniocentesis) or placenta (chorionic villus sampling...
