be dynastic mischievously begs too many questions.

| | Plagiarism or protecting public health? 647
Is milk produced using recombinant bovine growth hormone
hazardous to animal health? Despite wide publicity, the controversy remains
unresolved. Rapid publication of all available data is essential if progress is
to be made.

| | Star masses and bayesian probability 649
The use of Bayes' theorem to pin down the mass limits of the few
neutron stars found in binary systems is both a splendid illustration of the
explicit use of a priori knowledge and a means to a useful
result.
