Soldiers of Diplomacy
United Nations peacekeeping troops, or 'Blue Helmets,' were first deployed in 1956 to oversee the withdrawal of French, British, and Israeli forces from the Suez Canal. Canadian Lester B. Pearson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize the following year for proposing this solution to the Suez crisis. Now forty years later, United Nations peacekeepers play a very different role from that of Pearson's lightly armed 'soldier-diplomats.' In June 1997, there were only seven UN missions in which the Blue Helmets were acting as true peacekeepers; another ten missions placed the Blue Helmets in civil conflicts where their roles ranged from evacuating threatened groups to organizing elections, and their t...
Molecular Biology of Steroid and Nuclear Hormone Receptors
Intracellular Receptors: New Instruments for a Symphony of Signals In the late eighteenth century, it was proposed on theoretical grounds that each of the body's organs, beginning with the brain, must be "a factory and laboratory of a specific humor which it returns to the blood", and that these circulating signals "are indispensable for the life of the whole" (Bordeu 1775). During the nineteenth cen tury, some remarkable physiological experiments revealed the actions of humoral factors that affected the for and function of multiple tissues, organs and organ sys tems within the body (Berthold 1849); much later, the chemical and molecular na ture of some of those factors was determined.

L'Insolite Histoire des luthériens de Paris
Dans ce livre, aboutissement d'une enquête de plus de vingt ans, l'histoire insolite est celle des chapelles d'ambassade scandinaves de Paris, chapelle de Suède, chapelle de Danemark, qui n'avait jamais été écrite. C'est aussi celle des communautés luthériennes qui y ont été accueillies et protégées deux siècles durant, alors qu'une persécution violente s'abattait de différentes manières sur les protestants. C'est encore celle des luthériens de Paris, ces immigrants germanophones, artisans spécialisés alsaciens ou allemands venus dans la capitale pour y faire métier du meuble ou de mode, qui s'installent au faubourg Saint-Antoine et peuvent, grâce à ces chapelles, rester fidèles à leur foi et à leurs pratiques. C'est l'histoire de près de deux siècles de vie souvent difficile et menacée dans un environnement en ébullition, la foi luthérienne restant le lien protecteur pour ceux qui l'ont pratiquée aux chapelles d'ambassade, de génération en génération.
