There, this week, a select group of five students will move into one of the most ambitious high-school science projects in the nation: to identify and isolate all the amino acids in ordinary fruit. To pay the bills, the Federal Government's National Institutes of Health last year gave $2,300, the only research grant it has ever made to a high school...

The sleek, swift Ferraris and Maseratis were fast enough to set records all week long in practice runs, but they were not sturdy enough to run so fast so long.
