Anglo-US concern
Article Abstract:
US Pres Bill Clinton and UK Prime Minister John Major are both contemplating means of improving industrial innovation. However, they have divergent opinions on how best to use science and technology in achieving this goal. The Clinton administration is scrutinizing government objectives which determine funding for research while Major's government, through the Dept of Trade and Industry, is looking for ways of fostering direct contribution of science and technology to industrial innovation.

A defensive strategy
Article Abstract:
The US government has ploughed in huge amount of dollars into new academic research centres, biocontainment labs, research grants and contracts to biology companies and industrial research to develop bioterrorism countermeasures, such as drugs and vaccines. These investments represent job opportunities for microbiologists, infectious-disease specialists, immunologists, molecular and cell biologists, and those experienced in the manufacture of biologics as antibodies and vaccines.

Delaney must go
Article Abstract:
The decision of the US congress to ban some agricultural pesticides is not sound. The US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) has banned the use of more than 20 chemicals which are quite harmless. Environmentalists' judgments are incorrect because agricultural pesticides are essential for some foods such as grapes, potatoes and tomatoes. The US government should not base its decision solely on the unfounded fears of environmentalists.
