In arecent plenary address to the American College of Cardiology, Dr. Leroy Hood stated that he expected the application of the techniques of recombinant DNA and molecular biology to medicine would advance the field more in the next twenty years than all of the progress that has been made in the past 2,000 years. Cardiology, as a discipline, has been one of the last to embrace the techniques of molecular biology, yet the advances made in the past five years have indeed been dramatic. Throm bolytic therapy, introduced with a bang through the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), is now part of the routine arma mentarium in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Tissue plasminogen activator was the first drug made with the use of recombinant DNA techniques to be used in cardiology and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989. In the short time since then, five other drugs made by these techniques have been added to the treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease-hirudin, su peroxide dismutase, urokinase, prourokinase, and multiple mutant forms of rt-PA. The FDA has approved fewer than 100 drugs that are made by recombinant DNA techniques, but estimates that by the year 2000 over 50% of all drugs will be made by these techniques.

The Trial of the Most Notable Lawsuit of Ancient or Modern Times

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
