...closed doors. But cadres in Zeguo and its parent city, Wenling, have pioneered a more participatory approach, putting them at the vanguard of China's experiments in political reform. President Hu Jintao has vowed never to adopt "Western-style" democracy. "But events like Zeguo's referendum, though isolated, may someday form the basis for China's gradual political liberalization," says He Baogang, an expert on Chinese grassroots democracy at the University of Tasmania who was on hand to observe the proceedings...
Will the Baby Boomer's Monte Carlo stash someday rival the $60 million Borg is alleged to have there, or will he become just another tennis courtier, serving (and volleying to) its true monarchs? The problem of predicting arises from the ambiguities inherent in any Wimbledon victory and from the mysteries inherent in reading any adolescent's psyche. Since the U.S. Open ceased using grass, and since the major players pretty much abandoned the Australian Open, the computer rankings on which Wimbledon's seedings are based do not have adequate input regarding abilities on what is now the exotic tennis...
...alien genes, injected by biologists. The study of these mutants and the effects of the interloping genes may help provide answers to such fundamental questions as what switches DNA on and off, and how a single cell blossoms into a complex organism like a mouse or a human being. Someday the new technology could yield treatments for diseases such as cancer, thalassemia and sickle-cell anemia. In short, an increasing number of biologists and geneticists agree, the field of transgenic mice is hot. Says Rudolf Jaenisch, a molecular biologist with the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass.: "Everybody...
...understand better the genetic basis of cancer, Philip Leder, a molecular geneticist at the Harvard Medical School and his colleague Timothy Stewart, have bred a line of transgenic mice that may someday serve as a model for human breast malignancy. He designed a DNA hybrid consisting of a gene called c-myc, which has been implicated in animal and human cancer, linked to a regulatory segment of another gene that is expressed in developing and lactating breast tissue. Soon after female mice with the injected gene give birth and begin nursing, they grow sizable tumors in their breasts. Perhaps more...
...phones, and their refusal to let the issue stagnate. We know that the College will not regret spending $12,000 on the phones; that small sum will pay enormous dividends in terms of peace of mind and deterrence, and may well save a student’s life someday...
