...person. And so while we’re not doing crew, that boathouse will always be there, and we’ll always be able to go back, if you need anything, they are there for you. So it’s not like a normal sport that you can leave behind; crew always stays with...
...Gordon explains the Glee Club’s parties usually featured just wine, not hard liquor. “People wouldn’t get raucously drunk,” he says, “but they’d get comfortable. They would definitely sing dirtier songs than normal...

Their strategy worked beautifully. The growth-hormone gene was incorporated into the DNA of about a third of the mouse pups and, most important, was activated in a variety of tissues. These offspring, spurred on by the extra portion of growth hormone, ballooned to twice the size of normal mice. What is more, because the new gene was present in all their cells, including their sex cells, it was passed along to the next generation. Says Brinster: "We're now doing work on the seventh generation of Supermouse...
...somewhat subtler series of experiments, Baltimore and his colleagues are studying how genes for disease-fighting antibodies are coordinated to respond to thousands of different invading microbes. They tailor-made a mouse gene for producing antibodies and inserted it into the DNA of a normal mouse. Although the antibody gene was bequeathed to every cell of the transgenic mouse, it was turned on (expressed) only where antibody genes normally operate: in the white blood cells. Now the scientists can determine just what gives the gene a preference for one tissue type over another, a crucial step in determining how cells...
