...probe cellular gene activity en masse, scientists first isolate the molecules that translate genes into proteins. They then copy these molecules into their corresponding DNA sequences, tag those sequences with fluorescent markers and pour the tagged sequences over the microarray. Active genes in this biochemical stew stick like Velcro to their single-stranded partners on the chip, creating patterns of fluorescent dots that reveal which genes are turned on. "This technology has fundamentally altered how we explore biology," says Dr. Olli Kallioniemi of the NIH, who studies gene expression in cancers...
...Clinton was wildly generous to the comedic mind. In 1992 he served up an exotic tapas buffet of premises that included his saxophone, his too-short jogging shorts, his light-switch "sincerity" and his McDonald's fetish.

...competition for campus space--namely building space--has emerged as one of the overarching issues this past year. Among the stew of considerations: The University has already taken over ownership of the Hasty Pudding building, which will almost certainly force out the venerable social organization and make room for wider student use. The new Radcliffe Institute may take over Agassiz and Byerly Halls, as well as move graduate students out of the Cronkhite Center. Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles, in his annual letter to the Faculty, noted that the University is considering eventually repossessing the Inn at Harvard...
