VaxDesign's model may soften, if not sidestep, such devastating setbacks by allowing researchers to road test a vaccine in human immune systems earlier than ever before. In essence, the constructs act as "clinical trials in a test tube." When an experimental vaccine enters the tissue constructs, the simulated immune system will sound the alarm, just as it would inside a human. Then, it does what an immune system does best - whips up antibodies. If the vaccine is successful, the antibodies will wipe out the targeted disease the next time it shows up. Best yet, researchers can test hundreds...
...Like Humphrey Bogart, Widmark started in movies as a thug and only gradually graduated to hero status. He was a murderously jealous cafe owner in Road House and a racist punk, spilling out vile epithets to noble young black doctor Sidney Poitier, in No Way Out (where he has a wonderfully sniveling final scene).

Accelerate ahead 11 years to 2000, and Ford again had its checkbook out, paying $2.7 billion for Land Rover, another luxury British carmaker that had run into some rough road.

...Paris on a mission of his own. Flanked by fellow Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham, McCain noted they'd undertaken their week long fact-finding tour of Iraq, Jordan, Israel, England and France as members of Congress's Armed Services committee - not as some sort of campaign foreign road show. Perhaps, but discussing international affairs with foreign leaders and enhancing McCain's presidential hopes aren't mutually exclusive. Still, McCain acted the apt pupil. "I wish every senator, every senator would make this same trip," McCain said, noting several of the first-hand educational experiences he'd gotten. "They...
