...hazards and uncertainties. They can't afford not to. The potential profits--though far off--are just too large, and so is the risk of being left behind. It's a cliche, but it's nonetheless apt to note that in written Chinese, the same ideogram is used to express both danger and opportunity. As Sy Sternberg, chairman of New York Life Insurance, puts it, "If we got 1% of the Chinese population, we would double the number of policies we have." That has been the dream of global executives ever since the first glimmers of an opening by China...
...food ran $86. The short wine list includes decent bottles for $24 to $50. Le Gigot is open for lunch and dinner every day but Monday. American Express and cash only. You needn't whisper, but you could--and you would be heard...
...gene gun thinks that shooting viral DNA could someday replace traditional vaccines. Dr. Stephen Johnston, director of the Center for Biomedical Inventions at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, is using medicine's newfound skill at sequencing genomes to figure out precisely what genes express, or turn on, when a bug first enters a host's cells. Using microarrays, also known as "DNA chips," Johnston is working to identify those genes, then snip them from a pathogen's genome and use them, or the proteins they make, as vaccines to trigger an immune response...
...pathogen, isn't wholly foreign to the body. Nevertheless, researchers are learning that the immune system can even be trained to go after tumors. CanVaxin, for example, a vaccine for the deadly skin cancer melanoma, is made from cancer-cell lines taken from three different patients; among them, they express more than 20 disabled tumor antigens that the immune system can learn to recognize...
...security to drop his pants at Washington's Reagan National Airport a week ago, grumbled to the Detroit News that screeners "felt me up and down like a prize steer." He later insisted he didn't "want any special treatment" when Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta called to express his sympathy. Some other victims of newly vigilant airport-security personnel are getting much worse handling. The airlines' own uniformed flight crews are often searched several times in a single day, and the pilots are getting so fed up that they have begun talking openly of striking or staging a work...
