41589 more on genetic engineering -- rank: 1000
I got a fax from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy this morning about anti-Monsanto campaigns. If recent mergers are approved, writes IATP's Kristin Dawkins, Monsanto will control 85% of the world cotton seed market and well over half of soybean and corn seed markets. It's got a joint venture with Cargill to distribute its seed worldwide. The IATP has a website at <http://www.iatp.org/iatp>.

I think the whole Russian stock market is now capitalized at something like $18 billion, or about 1/3 of Bill Gates's personal net worth. Trading volume, if I read the TV screen correctly yesterday, was $23 million (an m, not a b). Clearly, Microsoft should buy Russia. Doug

41595 Cassidy in New Yorker -- rank: 1000
