Cousin, president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Juggling Club, is currently working at the Boston Museum of Science, illustrating basic physics concepts to young visitors and their parents through humor and airborne objects...
...naming the shapes and knowing precisely how they are formed are two different things. Proteins twist and pleat themselves as they're synthesized. These basic forms are then further folded and linked to other proteins to create the uberstructures crucial to protein chemistry. Scientists traditionally dissect the atomic details of these folds by observing how crystallized proteins scatter X rays--experiments that can take years to complete. But robots and powerful X-ray generators have lately boosted the pace of discovery. Structures that two decades ago would have taken a couple of researchers 10 years to crack...
...take more than motherhood to keep SHARON STONE from getting naked. In the same week that Stone, 42, and husband Phil Bronstein, 47, adopted a baby boy named Roan Joseph, the actress signed a reported $15 million deal to reprise her erogenous zone-baring role in the sequel to Basic Instinct. Stone had studiously avoided Basic Instinct 2 for years (though for some reason she agreed to do Gloria, Sliver and The Muse), but relented when original producer Mario Kassar regained the film rights. "I felt assured that the project will be made with respect to the original," said Stone...
...basic moral intuition about what's right and wrong. What I provide for people is argument and support. I cannot tell you how many women have said my pounding on about how the first priority in their lives ought to be the child has helped them. That pounding was met by some negativity at first, but now people say their lives are just elevated by doing what seems so simple but is counter to what's going on in society...
...never called homosexual human beings deviants. I have pointed out that homosexual behavior deviates from the norm of heterosexuality and is forbidden by Scriptures. That is basically the context... Even now I get hundreds of letters a week from gays and lesbians who realize the way I'm being presented is nowhere near the truth. I stand behind basic civil rights--where someone is able to live, and work at his job--and always have. The only place where there is a divergence is the issue that I consider sacred: marriage and family structure around children...
