...based in Pasadena, Calif., and is associated with the California Institute of Technology, has been selling the electronic nose for more than a year. The company manufactured it for use in the food-service and chemical industries. The device can tell whether basil is fresh and warn if a shipment of fish has started to rot. It can also identify contaminants in perfumes or chemicals. But following the Sept. 11 attacks, the $7,995 Cyranose may have a new application.

Gilmore and postal officials insisted late last week that the operation had been a team effort. Still, it was the mayor who received a standing ovation from postal workers last Thursday. And he continues to play an aggressive role on their behalf. When doctors discovered last week...
...shared by FM. He reports being disappointed with the hat selection in Boston. First, he went to Lids and discovered it was just for baseball caps. His trip to Toppers at 230 Newbury St. was just as unfruitful. But there is still hope: the store manager anticipates a new shipment of hats for the winter. He would be lucky to earn as loyal a customer as Harvard’s own Phil Telfeyan...
