The Truth About Ourselves
The human genome sequence has been completed
and shows some surprising findings. Despite having one-third less genes
than estimated, human beings are still very complex. With access to disease
genes, medicine and diagnostics will be revolutionised. However, this
will also raise ethical questions on cloning and genetic privacy.

Profitable Loss
36 With over 90,000 employees opting for the
VRS scheme, PSU banks are set to get over their problem of overstaffing.
But is it going to make banks more competitive in this age of automation?
Besides, it is also going to cost more than Rs 7,500 crore and will deprive
the banks of skilled workers.

 After
the PMK-AIADMK tie-up, the Congress has decided to bond with the
tmc, says the party's GHULAM NABI AZAD.
Q.
Is the Pattali Makkal Katchi an anathema to you?
A.
We have our views on this. But it was AIADMK chief Jayalalitha who
once wrote to the then prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao, asking
him to ban the PMK.
Q.
Are you going to continue the Congress' alliance with the AIADMK?
A.
We need some clarification on the nature of the PMK's alliance with
the AIADMK. Is it going to be merely seat sharing or will they support
it from outside or as a coalition partner?
Q.
What steps have you taken to review your ties?
A.
We have not revoked our ties. We have spoken to TNCC leaders and
the TMC. We have to talk to Jayalalitha now.
Q.
What is the CPI(M)'s thinking on this?
A.
The CPI(M)-AIADMK tie-up is already in place. Post-PMK's entry,
there is no official word yet from the Marxists.
Q.
What is the prospect of forging a third front in
Tamil Nadu?
A. Small parties like the New Justice Party and the Dalit
Panthers of India want it. The Congress has decided to go along
with whatever decision the TMC takes.
