...this point is best described as a struggling candidate with lots of money, can cause his opponents fits. While Dole is often too sardonic for his own good, Gramm can be truly mean, so anything is possible from him, and his sizable bankroll means he could stay in the hunt till the end. But the story to watch right now is Dole's positioning and demeanor. Earlier this year, in an attempt to win the backing of far-right activists, Dole abandoned some moderate views on such hot-button issues as gun control and affirmative action. His rivals screamed "flip...
Siberia is much, much more, however, than the locus of past political evil. For every person sent unwillingly to exile in its arctic wastelands, many others came to hunt, trap, fish, log or mine. The harsh life drove many back, but others stayed, captivated by the sublime beauty of earth's greatest northern landscape. Vitali Menshikov, an oceanographer by training, came to the Kamchatka peninsula in the Far East 27 years ago. He has returned to Leningrad only once; instead, he has used his vacations to take expeditions--61 so far--on ski and foot through this breathtaking land...
...Seawolf Submarine. The problems speak for themselves. Perhaps more blatantly than the other measures, this nuclear sub reveals the vast inadequacies of Cold War technology in dealing with today's security needs.

During the Cold War, such a vehicle made excellent sense; it could loom menacingly around the Soviet continent, ready for immediate deployment in the event of a security...
Friedman picked up the challenge, applying new tools developed by the field of molecular genetics. The secret factor, he reasoned, must be produced by a gene that was defective in the obese mice. So he began to hunt for such a gene, the ob, or obese, gene. Sure enough, late last year, after eight years of effort, Friedman and his colleagues pinpointed the ob gene in both average-weight and obese mice. They then inserted the normal gene into bacterial cells, providing at long last detectable quantities of the protein they called leptin...
...tale that seemed more Cinderella than Simpson, FBI shoe print expert William Bodziak described to theO.J. Simpsonjury the extensive worldwide hunt for the shoe that made bloody prints at the murder scene. The design of the shoe, which was never found, was so unusual that it couldn't be located in the databases of the FBI or seven international law enforcement agencies. After sending out over 80 letters to shoe companies and visiting an Italian manufacturer, the feds found their perfect fit -- a size 12 Bruno Magli with a waffle sole that sells for $160 a pair. Simpson himself wears...
