Comparing the human genome with those of other organisms, from bacteria to insects to mammals, will help biologists understand how more complex species evolved from simpler ones--and even pinpoint the precise bits of genetic information that are uniquely human. "It has to be a milestone in human history when you have a first look at your instruction book," says James Watson, who with Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA a half-century ago. "Having this book will change the world...
...Court still hasn't bothered to explain to SCOTUS its first crack at this thing - it was a sloppy activist compromise that only served to waste three weeks of national time. The high court of which Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sounded so enamored Monday could have done the legally simpler thing on Nov. 17: Allow Katherine Harris her first certification and allow Gore his de novo contest on Nov. 18.

Under this reform, there would remain a temptation to bring moral pressure on individual electors to reject the decisions of their states and shift their votes to the popular-vote winners. This invokes the myth that the Founding Fathers expected the electors to be free agents. The evidence is that the Founders fully expected the Electoral College...
