...image that was made public on Valentine's Day looks like an extraterrestrial bouquet, a blossom from another galaxy. But it is a revelation from a skirmish in deepest inner space, one with huge potential promise in the war against AIDS. The twisting green "stems" are a rare antibody called b12; the red "florets" are a surface protein of the HIV virus; and the yellow area where they meet is the virus' point of vulnerability, where the b12 antibody latches on to start neutralizing the deadly entity that causes AIDS. The 3-D X-ray crystallographic image, released as part...
...Verden, Germany The Personal Is Environmental Re "Kyoto, Heal Thyself" [Jan. 29]: I want to believe that we Japanese are born loving and cherishing nature.

Even if this Administration could push a replay button, the result would be like the movie Groundhog Day--an endless repeat of the same mistakes...
...This is, without a doubt, the game of the week--if, of course, Cornell can stave off the Tigers on Friday. Assuming that happens, this contest becomes enormous for both teams, but especially huge for Cornell, which would control its own destiny in the Ivies by beating the Quakers. It doesn’t seem likely, considering Penn shellacked Cornell in Ithaca earlier in the year, but the learning curve for the Big Red’s stellar freshman has been steep. One of those frosh, guard Ryan Wittman--son of Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Randy--will show...
