ABOUT ten minutes into Cutter's Way, something strange happens. What's gone before has been strictly cinematic--scenes that have become familiar on the screen as part of movie life. Richard Bone trades a few remarks with an older woman he has half-heartedly laid, and then he's down in the hotel lobby, lighting the obligatory cigarette, striding cockily out the door, refusing to pay the valet who wheels him up his old Healy. We've seen all this before, and it has become so familiar we don't even give it a second thought. They used...
Throdal says it is still too early to tell what products or services, to which the company holds exclusive rights, if any, may result from the Harvard research, but Science magazine reported last May that the Collagen company, of which Monsanto owns 30 per cent, will manufacture bone powder to be used in a study by Julianne Glowacki, associate in surgery at the Medical School and a researcher in Folkman's lab, to study techniques in developing artificial bones...
...cost of such an undertaking would presumably reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars. But Hannah and Hudson have trimmed expenses to the bone and are projecting start-up costs no higher than $20 million to $30 million. So far, the firm has spent $1.2 million gearing up, with most of the money coming from Hannah and a group of wealthy Texas backers, who have each contributed at least $100,000 to the venture. Additional financing will obviously depend on whether the space entrepreneurs can convince customers that they can deliver the goods...
COST members are riled most by what they regard as educational frills and extras in the budget, which the board of education insists has already been "cut to the bone." Among the budget items that rankle most: $23,000 for art-instruction supplies, $13,000 for a gymnasium divider net, $3,600 for a color TV and video taping system...
...discovery that made the biggest headlines--in Boston, where it was lauded, as well as in Los Angeles, where its originality was challenged--concerned the induction of bone growth in humans. Announced at the beginning of May, "osteoinduction," a technique advanced by surgeons and researchers at the Medical School, uses bones from crushed cadavers to prompt bone regeneration. Since cadaver bones are easier to obtain than bone from a patient's body, osteoinduction should prove 100-per-cent effective, 35 per cent better than the old process...
