Here and in many others of Heaney's poems, body and land are one: the undersoil is richly strewn with bits of bone from people who have lived and died in the past. "Bone Dreams" (1975) recalls the Song of Solomon, as the bodies of the poet and his lover merge into the landscape...
Anderson and Blaese are confident that gene therapy could fit the bill. Ideally they would prefer to insert ADA genes into bone-marrow stem cells, which would continuously manufacture blood cells containing the gene and ensure a steady supply of the enzyme. But researchers have yet to find a way to isolate marrow stem cells effectively. Instead, the NIH researchers opted for T cells, immune-system cells that can survive in the bloodstream for months and even years...
...Crossing has a good novel's narrative density. The film finds a dozen angles in the battle between Leo O'Bannion (Albert Finney), the Irishman who has run the town for years, and Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito), the volatile, flirtatious Italian who is itching to seize control. Their bone of contention is Bernie Bernbaum (John Turturro), a gambler too greedy to live long but too cunning to stay dead. His sister Verna (Marcia Gay Harden) has stolen Leo's heart and is ever ready to fence it. Nice crowd. Shuttling among them, wooed and wounded by them...

Aside from a few pops by linebackers Gordian and Barry Lausch, the biggest hit of the game may have come in the third quarter, when Columbia's Solomon Johnson was chased out of bounds and bowled over one of the older sideline photographers...

NBC's Parenthood is funnier and cuts closer to the bone than most family sitcoms, largely because it does such a good job of duplicating the hit movie. Ferris Bueller, based on the John Hughes teen flick, is a fast- and-loose joyride, with Charlie Schlatter doing a good Matthew Broderick impression as the high school big shot. And in a season with an abnormally low population of crime fighters, NBC's Law & Order has a no-nonsense, almost clinical approach...
