...Israel, you deal with Israel. In the U.S., you deal with the U.S., the world-and Israel." Cardiologist Yzhar Charuzi says that his career would have been stunted if he had remained in Israel. "Here I have my opportunities," says Charuzi, now head of the coronary-care unit at Los Angeles' Mount Sinai Hospital...
...salts supplied from a large vat holding 25 gal. or more. Such a container was obviously too large for a portable system. So Friedman and his engineering collaborator, James Hutchisson, decided on a 5-gal. plastic container customarily used by campers and yachtsmen to carry water. Because the portable unit's pumps were smaller, they had to work faster; otherwise the dialysis would take longer than the usual five hours. Would this faster flow damage the blood's fragile red cells...
Rigid System. On the ice, the Russians skate as a five-man unit, working the puck into the slot in front of the goal rather than taking low-percentage outside shots. According to Shero, they also "like to overload a zone, throwing four men on one side, gambling that you'll panic and throw the puck away."

"Putting our hands on our own machinery is something we never did before," says the trim, smartly dressed publisher. "I think we all have a better sense of what makes the place run well...
...working at M.I.T., had synthesized a yeast gene, the simplest gene yet made. Already aware of the sequence of the 77 "code letters," or nucleotides, in the DNA of the gene, Khorana painstakingly "assembled" the letters one at a tune in the proper order to produce a synthetic unit. The rabbit gene is at least eight times as large, containing about 650 nucleotides strung together in a sequence that scientists have not yet completely determined. Clearly the Harvard group could not follow Khorana's route...
