...that’s where the casual observer catches that Texas-bred fire inside the unassuming Hendricks. You see, Hendricks may not throw in the high 90s like Beckett, but every bit of him believes he can be a major league baseball player...
...cells, spewing out inflammatory cytokines, particularly as you gain weight.) Where inflammation fits into this scenario - as either a cause or an effect - remains unclear. But the case for a central role is getting stronger. Dr. Steve Shoelson, a senior investigator at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, has bred a strain of mice whose fat cells are supercharged inflammation factories. The mice become less efficient at using insulin and go on to develop diabetes. "We can reproduce the whole syndrome just by inciting inflammation," Shoelson says...
...speed of sound bites bouncing off satellites ... It was the start of the fiercest scientific debate about medical ethics since the birth of the first test-tube baby 15 years ago. A line had been crossed. A taboo broken. A Brave New World of cookie-cutter humans, baked and bred to order, seemed, if not just around the corner, then just over the horizon.

Critics decried the commercialization of fertility technology and protesters took to the streets...
...Hwang grew up in a hardscrabble village in the Korean countryside and remembers eating tree bark and grass roots to survive in the aftermath of the Korean War. His father died when Hwang was five, and his mother owned three cows that she bred for calves.

Osgood was New York City born, bred, schooled (Fordham) and employed (as the mellifluous morning man on WCBS news radio). Yet his bow tie, wry good nature and weakness for writing up a story in helium-light verse marked him as a Kuralt cousin. He joined the CBS network in 1971 and filled a daily 90-sec. slot called ?The Osgood File? (it?s run on 350 stations) as well as serving, for five years, as a host...
