Time and again, we find that plants and animals make strange molecules that chemists would never devise in their wildest dreams (and chemists do dream of chemicals in their wildest dreams). For example, researchers could not have invented the anticancer compound taxol, taken from the Pacific yew tree. It is too fiendishly complex a chemical structure, says natural-products chemist Gordon Cragg, of the U.S. National Cancer Institute...
...weeks ago after it was discovered that Rockwell had a restraining order filed against him by a former girlfriend. (Darva's response to the whole fiasco: "Oops.")

Among other things, he noted, the fiscal achievement turned what government economists in the mid-1990s projected would be a $400 billion deficit in fiscal 1999 into a $120 billion surplus. At the same time, individual stock-market investors are behaving almost like professional venture capitalists, ignoring short-term profits...
