...modified organisms (GMOs) to disease. And despite the benefits to both farmers and consumers, some opponents continue leveling absurd charges against GMOs and holding them to impossible standards. In his Dec. 4 column "Biotechnology: Bad Technology" Rohan R. Gulrajani argued that GMOs are wrong because "technologies whose side effects cannot be completely controlled fail to meet all the purposes for which they were created and therefore are insufficient." This argument suggests that aspirin should be banned because of the risk of Reye's syndrome and airplanes should be grounded because of risk of a crash. Buffer zones between fields...
...curiam decision, the Justices also remanded the case back to the state high court with an a cryptic message: "Upon due consideration of the difficulties identified to this point, it is obvious that the recount cannot be conducted in compliance with the requirements of equal protection and due process without substantial additional work." That work would require the creation of uniform standards for vote counts, the Court explained, as well as time allowing judicial review of those standards.

He has been married to the same woman, Robyn Gibson, since 1980 and fathered seven children, including son Thomas, born last year. Through his 11-year-old company, he co-produced this year's well...

Surely the Nobel Prize cannot have been decided principally on the basis of what appears here. Gao, 60, a playwright as well as a novelist, is regarded as a master of the Chinese language. Perhaps that skill cannot be completely conveyed in a translation, but a better use of English might have helped...
...also managed to win agreement on the need for further talks to define the limits of E.U. authority over member states - a concern that Berlin shares, in different ways, with Britain and France. The most telling response, perhaps, came from the European Union commissioner, Italy's Romano Prodi. "I cannot hide from you a certain regret that we did not manage to go further," Prodi told reporters at the summit's conclusion. And that's hardly surprising, coming from a man whose job it is to actually run the behemoth...
