This Week's Letters

Comments are exchanged about a report that examined the effects of calorie restriction on the aging process in mice, as revealed by analysis of the expression of 6347 genes in skeletal muscle. Officials of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund point out that science philanthropy does not require large amounts of money: "modest grants, given in the right place and at the right time, can have a significant effect, a notable example being the support of young scientists." And interpretations of the Bible code about "distances" between rabbis' names and the dates of their birth and death are clarified.
