Rando’s research has paved the way for the manufacturing of drugs that might combat the progression of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common version of AMD which causes vision loss in up to eight million American elderly a year. Merck will pay an initial $3 million, along with later fees for further milestones in the development and royalties on resulting products, in exchange for the exclusive intellectual property rights to Rando’s work. “The good...

Bush's Washington. But the satisfaction one might draw from even a playful vision of an imaginary Gore administration points up the other limitation of an actual Gore 2008 campaign: its appeal rests in a nostalgia for an era that never...
