...have every wish to go on writing. But my thesis and job hunt in spring will occupy too much of my time to allow me the luxury of writing for The Crimson regularly. Hence this P.C. Corner piece will be the last. However, once my workload becomes tolerable, I will be back to report on computer issues at Harvard...
...fire. Some models are prized for their concealability and "stopping power." The fact is, concealing a weapon is a felony, and you can stop someone just as easily with a shotgun. What can you do with a handgun that you can't do with a rifle? You can still hunt with a rifle, join a shooting club, stop a burglar, or even join a revolutionary militia. Perhaps you can't open a drawer and blow a hole in your spouse's chest in a wild fit of rage, but might regret having done that afterwards...
...much the same way, today's explorers of the genetic frontier have doggedly navigated the 23 pairs of human chromosomes in their search for various genes -- not always sure which landmarks to trust or how far away the goal was. The hunt will now be easier, thanks to last week's announcement that an international team of scientists, led by Dr. Daniel Cohen at the Center for the Study of Human Polymorphism in Paris, has produced the first full-fledged -- if still rough -- map of the human genome. "This is a major step forward," says David Ward, a Yale geneticist...
...When we read about the ((evidence of a colon-cancer gene)) in May, we realized that the genetic instability being describing was identical to one that we already knew about in yeast," Fishel says. So he and Kolodner and their colleagues decided to hunt for a human gene similar to the yeast version. In November they rushed their results to the research journal Cell, which decided to publish the paper on Dec. 3. "We heard from Dr. Vogelstein a couple of hours after our paper was accepted," Kolodner recalls. Vogelstein, realizing he was about to be outpaced, then pulled together...
Next up for Mayo's questionable scrutiny is Mother Teresa. Now, if you missed Mayo's article, his critique of Mother Teresa is reason enough to go hunt this one down at 14 Plympton, because surely Mayo's is the first to find fault with a "future saint." Calling her "Miss Teresa," Mayo derides her selection on the basis of her being "a humble, selfless, obedient woman," saying that we conservatives probably didn't choose her for her true merits--that is, for her devotion to the poor. Never mind that Council member Brian E. Malone noted these characteristics...
