...until air time before debates and sending him out on stage rattled, handlers have allowed the Governor plenty of time to rest beforehand. All in all, the result has been a more confident, relaxed candidate. "A lot of politics, and of running for President, is getting used to the process," Bush said in explaining his change in style. "Man, it's new to me. And I'm getting used...
Winning over Wall Street will require a prolonged process of--pick your noun--either education or spin. Music-business executive Danny Goldberg, a former head of Warner Bros. records, says the merger both "validates the Internet and validates the value of content." But it also forces the invention of a new currency to reflect it; as the AOL and TWX stock prices yo-yoed up and down last week, it was clear that investors had no idea how to put a price tag on something that was neither an Internet highflyer nor an old-economy cash-flow locomotive. AOL lost...
...process, Levin has made an amount of money that might be considered excessive. (TIME founder Henry Luce liked to say that the profit motive, while "useful" was "not noble.") In 1998, Levin pocketed more than $250 million, including options--nailing in one year roughly twice what Luce was worth when he died in 1967. In Levin's mind, it is simply a case of high risk, high reward. And though Time Warner shares have had a bumpy ride, they've outgained the Dow--412% to 236%--since Levin took over...
...steady route. Scientists first divided the full complement of human DNA into 22,000 segments, each 150,000 letters long. The positions of these segments were carefully mapped, and then each was cloned several times. Those cloned segments are now being decoded by automated gene sequencers, and the process repeated several times to ensure accuracy and close any gaps in the coverage. Because each segment was mapped before cloning, the decoded segments can be easily fitted back into their original position in the completed genetic...
...Venter, is the most difficult. His robots e-mail their results to Celera's giant central database (said to represent more concentrated computing power than anywhere outside the Pentagon). These computers are using a sophisticated program to reassemble the genome fragments into the familiar 23 human chromosomes. The whole process can be compared to making confetti out of a stack of encyclopedias and then painstakingly reconstructing each page...
