Given the aura of scandal that clung to the White House in the wake of the Lewinsky debacle, producers at NBC were uncertain that the nation would swallow Martin Sheen's squeaky-clean President Barlet. All sorts of polls have shown that the average American's faith in government has slid steadily downward since Watergate. Was it possible that a public so disillusioned with its leaders could accept the portrait of a politician with a magnetic personality, a benevolent heart, and a philosophy of being...

Governor Cruz Bustamante hosted a wild night of salsa and singing Tuesday that had the crowd...
...first, the grains of rice that Ingo Potrykus sifted through his fingers did not seem at all special, but that was because they were still encased in their dark, crinkly husks. Once those drab coverings were stripped away and the interiors polished to a glossy sheen, Potrykus and his colleagues would behold the seeds' golden secret. At their core, these grains were not pearly white, as ordinary rice is, but a very pale yellow--courtesy of beta-carotene, the nutrient that serves as a building block for vitamin...
