Industry enthusiasts say bioengineered animals and plants could become commercially available within the next five years. First, however, they must pass muster with federal regulators. That may be tricky, given the concerns raised by some environmental and animal-rights groups. Protests have already greeted the likely approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of biotechnology's first major agricultural product, a natural hormone called BST, which can be mass-produced in genetically altered bacteria. BST injections make cows produce more milk, but farmers worry about a possible oversupply of dairy products that could drive down prices. Moreover, some opponents...
...Soviet Union, he would only have time for a very short nap before finding that everything had changed!" It was Ronald Reagan in a familiar mode, the storyteller.

And up he goes into the Hollywood Hills, where the entertainment industry's most beguiling outsider can find refuge in the daydreams and nightmares -- the forests and Philadelphias -- of his pinwheeling mind...
...blinding light of Greece but in the ashes of Osage Avenue in West Philadelphia. There, on May 13, 1985, readers may remember, a police helicopter dropped a bomb on 6221 Osage after its occupants, members of a black organization called Move, resisted orders to vacate. Six adults and five children were killed. The blast also started a fire that destroyed 60 other houses...
