Says Dr. Wayne Grody, head of the DNA diagnostic lab at the UCLA Medical Center: "We'll soon be governed by a new paradigm--genomic medicine--with tests and ultimately treatment for every disease linked to the human genome...
...handle the issues spawned by genetic testing. Primary-care physicians, who guard the portals of today's managed-health-care system, rarely have had any training in clinical genetics. "My job is centered almost as much on educating doctors as patients," says genetics counselor Michelle Fox of the UCLA Medical Center. If they uncover a genetic problem in patients, like a family history of muscular dystrophy in a couple who want a child, savvy physicians will enlist a trained specialist like Fox. These specialists can explore with the couple what it means to care for a child with muscular dystrophy...

...UCLA geochemist Frank Kyte thinks he may have found not just the answer but also a piece of the thing itself: a tiny meteorite fragment, a tenth of an inch across, that was extracted from a 65-million-year-old geological layer under more than 50 yds. of sediment at the bottom of the Northern Pacific. In a report in the current issue of Nature, Kyte notes that the little chunk contains concentrations of metals (such as iridium and nickel) and mineral textures that clearly show that it is extraterrestrial and that it probably was once part of a much...
