...does Venter subscribe to the traditional belief that true scientists must take a vow of poverty. When he left the National Institutes of Health to begin his great gene chase, he turned almost overnight from a hardscrabble government scientist with $2,000 in the bank into a yacht- and sports car-owning multimillionaire who threw Gatsby-like parties (last year's income: $560,000, not counting options on Celera stock that were worth, at last week's closing price of $125.25, nearly $351 million).

Artificial life forms that "live" inside computers have evolved to the point where they can chase prey, evade predators and compete for limited resources...
...street shoes have shown tendencies toward the outlandish as well, though the deformations are subtler, taking the form of ghastly square-blockishness in the toe, for example (perhaps a way of allowing a 25-year-old management trainee at Chase to think he is still wearing his Doc Martens skinhead stompers). The mistakes in men's designs - fortunately or unfortunately - do not have the (screwball) style of the women's errors.
