...third organization run by Charles Kelly, a retired Washington banker and former minor official in the Eisenhower Administration. His main effort is to talk to business friends about giving money to a Powell campaign, to preach the Powell gospel to influential Republicans and to organize a shadow national committee. None of this is big league enough to represent a real political force, but that's not surprising given that they have no real candidate to support...
...John Kohan reports. The Russian press has been unanimous in itsscorn for President Boris Yeltsin's lack of leadership,but has high praise for the Prime Minister.

There is a shadow-casting feature to help judge how the light will fall on the plantings through the day, and an aging feature to show what the garden will look like 10 years from...
According to University of Connecticut biochemist Peter Setlow, Cano is a long way from convincing critics "beyond a shadow of a doubt that the microbe he has isolated is an ancient one." Setlow agrees, however, that Cano has made the most compelling case possible. For instance, he has clearly established that his bacteria -- while related to Bacillus sphaericus, a living resident of apiarian digestive tracts -- are genetically distinct from known microbes. The catch is, something like 95% of the bacteria that populate today's world have not even been identified, much less analyzed by scientists...
