It then took Judge Stanley Weisberg more than an hour to issue jury instructions on the subtle variations in mental state that distinguish a first-degree * murder from a second-degree offense, a voluntary manslaughter from an involuntary killing -- all-important gradations that may spell the difference between life and death for Lyle, 25, and Erik, 23, in the Aug. 20, 1989, slaying of their parents...
...instructions," explains Richard Kolodner, a biochemist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and one of the discoverers of the defective gene. This blueprint must be recopied each time the cell divides. "Some mistakes get made," Kolodner continues. "The ((protein made by the normal gene)) is like the spell-checker on a computer. It helps to scan for errors, detect them and fix them." When the spell-checking gene is damaged in some way, mistakes start piling up in other genes. Eventually some of the genes that keep cells from dividing uncontrollably are affected and cancer arises. It most...
