...Interior Department ceded a 1.1-acre plot adjacent to the grave site to Maui County for recreational use. Local residents as well as the Lindbergh family winced at the idea of picnic tables and chain-link fencing, and the park was never built. Now the Federal Government may take back the land and put it up for auction. A driveway could slice through the cemetery within 20 ft. of Lucky Lindy's grave. Whether the site remains in public or private hands, the world is already pressing in on the Lone Eagle: more than 50 visitors a day find their...
Allen remembers a lightning bolt. "I ran out of class to get Bob, who said, 'Oh my God!' " He recalls, "We rushed to the site, tramping around in the mud." Their solution: filter the postoxidation pond water through a man-made wetland before piping it into the bay. The process is called polishing. Algae and other potentially harmful microbes cling naturally to swamp plant roots, starting a food chain. Filter-feeding organisms in the marsh water eat them...
Finding the location of a gene on a chromosome is even more complicated. But over the past several years, scientists have managed to draw rough maps of all the chromosomes. They determine the approximate site of the genes, including many associated with hereditary diseases, by studying patterns of inheritance in families and chopping up their DNA strands for analysis. With this technique, they have tracked down the gene for cystic fibrosis in the midsection of chromosome 7, the gene for a rare form of colon cancer midway along the long arm of chromosome 5, and the one for familial Alzheimer...

In recent months E.R.P. regulars and dozens of new peasant militias have attacked military outposts, ambushed patrols, and even briefly taken a town near the Guatemalan border...

The thief did not jimmy open a window at the well-guarded site; instead, he gained access to a "secure" cable leading into the facility and was able to trespass electronically. NSA officials believed the breach was the work of an East bloc spy agency...
