More than 35 million Americans suffer from allergies-the irritating and sometimes incapacitating ailments caused by overreaction of the body's immune system to substances like ragweed pollen, mold spores or a wide variety of foods. Doctors have for decades sought better ways to alleviate allergy symptoms, which include sneezing, shedding tears, itching and swelling. Now, after three years of work, Dr. Robert Hamburger, 52, of the University of California at San Diego, has synthesized a small molecule that interferes with the immune mechanism and helps prevent the discomforts of the allergic...
...shouldn't Brenda suffer like the rest of us?" mused Cartoonist Dale Messick, 69, after revealing that Brenda Starr, girl reporter and glamorous comic-strip heroine in 150 newspapers, was finally going to be married.

All of the components had to be miniaturized to an incredible degree, yet remain capable of working under a wide range of temperatures. Only when such problems had been solved could the exobiologists and their engineer colleagues finally assemble the life-detection laboratory (see diagram), in a space of only one cubic foot...
...really suffered a lot," she says, and laughs at her melodramatic phrasing. "I'm not one of those people who think that you have to suffer to be a real person. But I learned a lot about myself about what I can do and what I can't do. And that's very valuable. I learned a lot about other people--their motivations, their fears, and their insecurities.
