Al various times ln his
adendftc career, Wallace bas
been called "aazy," "insane" and
•radical." He can laugh at tbeee
monikers now that most or bis
rewludbnary theories have been
proven. Wallace'• eyes spu:kle
with electricity when he talks, his
mind spinning so fast that it
seems lib his speech Is just
trying to keep up. .
Like Aristotle and Darwin.
Wallace was intrigued by
questions surrounding the
human condition at an early age.
"Ever since I can remember, I
always wanted to know. 'Who am
I? Where did we all come from?
Why do WJ! always £eel so bad?'"
Wallace said. '1 never stopped
wondering about them and
sought many paths to get
reasonable answers."
Wallace explored psychology
and theology to address these
questions. but his insatiable
inO!Dectual appetite was satisfied
most by biology.
He graduated from Cornell
Uruversity in 1968 with a major
ln microbiology and a minor in
chemistry. After working in
public health for two years with
the army in Wasb.ington, Wallace
went to Yale to get a Ph.D. in
miaobiology. He was attracted to
Yale because it was one or the
first universities to apply
techniques of rniaoblology to
human genetics.
ll£ SCENCE OF DNA
The double helix structure or
DNA, which exists in the nucleus
or cells and contains genetic
infonnadon. was discovered in
1953. But scieotists could not
manipulate DNA as they can
today because the tools were not
availablt. It wasn~ until the late
1960s that scientists developed a
process to grow human cells in a
culture. allowing them to apply
the same genetic tools to hwnan
oeUs as they bad to bacteria
In 1968, scientists discoYered a
different type of DNA outside the
nucleus -mitochondrial DNA
(rutDNA.).
As a miaobiologist, Wallace
was attracted to this new form of
DNA because it appeared that
the mitochondria were a form of
bacteria that formed a symbiotic
relation.ship with the cells they
inhabited.
Since the mitochondria were
found to produce energy for the
cells, Wallace postulated that
they must play a significant role
ln the human body.
Wallace was one of the first to
argue that their DNA can cause
mutadons and therefore had the
capability of causing disease. He
and his coDeagues at Yale led the
vangwud of mitochondrial DNA
researdl, whk:b evolved Into the
field of mitochondrial genetics ln
the early '70s.
"It was an exddng time
because you're always trying
something new, but I.hat's
IClence In general You're always
pushing the envelope." Wallace
aakl. "lt was also acary because I
based my whole life on theee
three theories. But what tf I was
wrong1"

Wallace discoYered another

nuclear ONA and mtDNA as
well. In nuclear DNA. there are
only rour ways the chromosomes
ln each cell can tum out -two
. normal. two mutants or one or
each. But with mtONA. the
spectrum is much wider, Wallace
said.
lltE POWER OF MTDNA
As a R!lult or bis resean:h.
Wallace disc:oYered that mtDNA
played a crucial role In each cell
cµld explained this In a way
anyone could understand He
likened the mtDNA to power
plants that provide energy to the
city (the cell), with the nucleus as
the City Council
"F.ach or the mtDNA is a
capacitor," Wallace said. "'You
charge them by eating and
brealhlng."
In each mtDNA are a set or
blueprints for the power plants,
and a mutation produces the
same results u if the blueprints
are stolen. Stages of cen.aln
diseases are based on how many
mutations have occurred in the
mtDNA. Wallace discovered.
"So this idea that you could
have a continuous disease
progress f'rom nonexisting to
mild to severe based on the
number or something was
radical!" Wallace said "So here
comes Doug Wallace, who no
one's ever hear of, and proves this. ..
To prove It. Wallace headed
bade across the countty to
Emory Unlversity in Atlanta
because he wanted to find a
region of the countty where
ethnically diverse ramilies bad
lived for generations. The goaJ
was to monitor a disease that
had been passed down through
the generations. identify that it
was passed by the mother and
then find the mutation that
caused the disease.
Five years later, Wallace found
that a type of sudden-onset
blindness was one or these
diseases passed on by the
mother. Other more complicated
diseases ·were soon identified.
enabling Wallace to prove
definitively that severity or
certain diseases was related to
the percentage of mutated
mtDNA
"Now, a large nwnber of
complex disease processes have
been re-examined .• and at least
part ot all of lhem have been
related to mtDNA." Wallace said.
MORE lliAN JUST GENE11CS
Wallace wasn't finished. More
questions were percolating in his
mind, so he turned his anention
to the aging proces&
Wallace discovered that
mtDNA were not just susceptible
to genetic mutations. They are
also vulnerable to damage by
free radicals that can pilrer the
mtDNA blueprints and thereby
deplete cells or energy. Organ
failure is essentially a l'eS\llt of
power outages in the mtDNA.
Wallace found. In 1992, Wallace
published his mitochondrial
theory or aging.
"That's why suddenly what
used to be a very arcane. obscure
6eld or science bas been thruQ
into the limelight." Wallace said
"SUddenJy what people
disrnlued as unimportant may

WHYUCf1
Wallace started his Center for
Molecular and Mitochondrial
Medicine and Genetics at Emory
because the theories he pmYed
led to knowledge of how to
direcdy Intervene to treat certain
diseases and delay the agjng
proces.s. But most scieotise3
know how difficult it is to take
this knowledge and transform it
into a viable product. ua. however, understood that
Wallace needed to fully tap the
potency or the mtDNA Whereas
at Emory, Wallace only had a lab
and a clinic, UO also provided
space and support for a
company. called Medergy, and
for Mitomap, a central data
processing center that links the
four components of Wallace's
programs in evolutionary
medicine.
If Wallace and his team are
successful in developing drugs to
delay aging and treat certain
diseases, UO is poised to reap
increased visibility and
significant financial benefits. said
Cesario. the College or Medicine
dean.
"When inventions are
developed by our own t'aculty.
the university does have the
posfilbility or licensing the
technology. and that hM the
potential of creating a royalty
stream,· Cesario said.
INSIDE THE LAB
In the lab, researchers,
tncluding 12 who made the
cross-country trek from Allanta
with him. are diligently trying ID
identify new disease mutations.
develop bener ways of
diagnosing mtDNA-caused
diseases, prove that many of
common degenerative diseases
are driven by mtDNA mutations
and find more evidence that
mitochondrial decline is a
significant cause of aging.
Wallace said.
The researchers hope to
develop genetic and chemical
treatments for these diseases.
The lab is not fully functional
yet.. Eventually, there will be a
warm room for growing bacteria
cells and a tissue culture room to
experiment with human and
mouse cells..
About six weeks ago,
researchers started using the fruit
Oy room, which contains
approximately 30.000 or the tiny
insects with various mutations.
The scientists use the f'ruit flies to
develop mutations that can't be
achieved in mice because the
mutations will kill them. said
Nadja Dvortin, a biology grad
student and the lab coordinator.
Next year, the lab will be
moving to the Hewitt bulldl.ng.

faculty and tripje the worbpace.

F.rtca. the 2-year-old, said
ber fawrite part of the winter
celebr:adon waa the hay rides.
Her aunt said she shrieked ex-
citedly as the horse-drawn
wagon bumped along Its
ooune. Erica also gave her
n~ of approval to the pop·
com In her hand that she was
eating by the fist full.
· Salazar said she was glad
she beard about the event this
year and·would be sure to re-
member It In the future.
"1bls is really fun," she said. ;we are going to come back
every year."
Best friends Nathan Brown
and Jeffrey Tumey couldn't be
bothered with sedentary ac-
tivities like snacking or draw·
ing; tl'ley were there to hjt the
slopes -literally.
Each bundled in truck win-
ter jackets, the two 7-year-old
boys gripped the handJes of
the toboggan as they careened
down the hillside. It was hard
to tell whether It was Nathan
or Jeffrey pulling at the sled -
or a combination of efforts -
that sent the two boys flying
but whatever the cause, the
duo landed sideways on the
snow with a thud.
The crowd of onlookers
gathered at the bottom of the
slope ga~ a collecdYe •Obi,•
which quickly turned Into a
hearty laugh as both boys
bounced up without a eaatch.
"We got good air on that

to Jeffrey as be ran back for

Nathan and Jeffrey said
"sledding" was their favorite
activity of the day. The long
line couldn't move fut
enough for them but it dfd
provide ample time to strat·
egize more creative "jumps,"
as they called them.
Fear of Injury is not an Issue
for either boy because it
doesn't hurt when you fall in
the snow, the·two explained. ·
"It was cold and fun.• Jeff-
rey said or his tumble.
Plus, the thrill of success-
fully landing a jump every
now and then is worth a little
roughing-up, they said.
Whether visitors enjoyed a
mellow afternoon under the
sun or a fast-paced f:rmen
ride, the Costa Mesa Wmter
Celebration was designed to
bring residents together to
celebrate the season.
The city-sponsored tradi·
tion was one that faced ex-
tinction because of the costs.
Parks and recreation commis-
sioners said they dug into city
coffers and garnered help
from private companies, such
as Torrell Realtors, because
Costa Mesa deserves commu-
nity building activities and it
Is just plain fun.

T hough support for the
latest version of the
John Wayne
Settlement Agreement
is far from
unanimous, there should be no
disagreement that the intentions
of leaders in Newport Beach's
City Hall are to aid this
community as best they can.
The disagreement appears to
be about bow those living under
the Bight path of John Wayne
Airport can be served best.
Newport Beach leaders, who see
that a hoped-fur airport at El
Toro is not the route to pursue,
have rightly decided that the
s\ll'eSt way to serve their
constituents is to do whatever it
takes to keep John Wayne from
expan,ding unreasonably. And
tQ.at means agreeing to raise the
annual passenger allowance
from 9.8 million to 10.8 million
and the number of gates from 18
to20.
Those numbers are striking
fear into some, but ~no
mistake: Without a settlement
agreement palatable to the
FederalAviation Administration
and the airlines, ftigbts will .,.
multiply over Newport Beach
and Santa Ana Heights. By giving
what amounts to not too much,
Newport Beach has gotten a lot
HoW can 1 million passengen
be "not too much?" The simplest
answer is that otBdals hope and
expect that a great part of those
additional passengers will sit in
now-empty seats. Fuller planes
eqµal more passenge~ without
more takeoffs.
Quieter planes also should
reduce the pain of living near
the airport It is pain that, surely,
is not going to disappear
altogether. But, under this latest
agreement -which the airlines
have signed off on and the
Federal Aviation Administration
is expected to OK by the end of
the year -that pain will not
become intolerable.
Could a different alternative
have lessened the pain more?
Probably. But given the end of El
Toro as an alternative and the
lack of another option, this deal
appears to be the best possible.
Newport Beach leaders
deserve thanks for working
diligently to get the caps in
place. They will deserve a loud
round of applause when those
restrictions are set in stone.
Lib!ary supporters

N ~rt Beach was
among 13 jurisdictions·
statewide last week
that received state
grant money for a joint-use
project. The S3.2-million grant
will enable Newport residents
and students to eventually use a
state-of-the-an library on the
Mariners PJementary School site.
The project would not have
been possible without the efforts
of about 600 donors who
chipped in more than $1 million
toward the $5.l -million project.
Among the donors were John
and Donna Crean, who ensured
fund-raisers were successful by
donating about half the total
sum.
In addition to the obvious
generosity of the Creans, many
others spent countless hours
getting the word out that money
was needed to provide Mariners
srudents and nearby residents
the opportunity to boast a new
one-story, 14,000-square-foot
library.
After raising the money, city
officials and residents could only
keep their fingers crossed that
the state would slice them a
piece of a $130-million joint-~
project pie. Of 60 entities that
applied for the money, Newport
was among 13 that received it.
which says something for the
city.
W~re not entirely sure what it
says, but we'd like to think it says
what we think-that Newport
officials and residents did their
homeworlc. listened and
responded to criticisms, and put
together a very worthwhile
project of which the community
and state can be proud.
Many residents complained
over the spring that such a
joint-use effort between the
elementary schooJ and city
could prove dangerous for the
children using it by allowing
pedophiles in. Those concerns
may or may not have been
Iegjtimate, but city of6cials
studied and added various
securlty precautions to the
project. The added security
measures actually increased the
library's overall price tag. which
will now cost the dty another
$000,000.
But for the children and
everyone involved, the price is
worth it After aa reading-
we'd like to think -is priceless.
And so are thoee who have made
a-new Mariners library poesible.

SERIOUS STUFF
'People in Newport
Beach, contrary to
what a lot of other
folks say, take their
politics very seriously
and, for that reason, I
think that anyone on
the City Council,
although we 're the
ultimate amateur
politicians, better had
be very, very prepared
for what th ey're doing
because if we're not,
we're going to hear
about that.'
ON THE DUCKS
'We joke about the
duck issue, but it was
serious. It was a
health issue and it was
a water-quality issue,
in addition to a
quality-of-life·issue as
far as being able to
sleep. They were fed
at 3 or 4 in the
morning.'

The ·City COuncil's
great mediator
A compromiser by trade, it should come as no surprise that new Newport Beach
Mayor St~ve Bromberg looks to build cohesiven~ss from the dais
Very much so.
Well, as you know, mayors in
Newport Beach and a lot of other cities
have (he tag of ceremonial. which is
true to a large degree. At the same time,
the mayo(s a spokesperson for the city,
its policies and so on.
l want to see, and I th.ink we're Just
about there. the airport is&Je dosed. I
think. we1J get our [Federal Aviation
Administration! letter soon. We're still
going to maintain a JWA settlement
committee. At least I'm going to do that
to make sure that this agreement is
shepherded through property. We're
going lo have good people on that
committee.
What I'm looking forward to this year.
keeping in mind that all council people
are on even footing. is a cohesiveness
on the City Council. We've had a pretty
good cohesiveness so far. We now have
two new members and I want lo make
sure that if there's anything that I can
do to be sure that we move forward as a
team. unified -and by that. very
dearly, I don\ mean that we all agree on
issues. But there's no absolutely rea.wn
we can't all work together as
professionals..
A5 a team. I'm of the belief from what
I've seen that the Newport Beach Oty
QrundJ is a model People in Newport
Beach. contrary to what a lot of o ther
folks say, t.ake their politics very
seriously and. for that reason, I think
that anyone on the City C.Ouncil,
although we're the ultimate amateur
politician.s, better had be very, very
prepared for what they're doing
because if we're not. we're going to hear
about that. I know because before I was
on the council, I was one of tboee. I
come from civil activism on Balboa
Island. They t.ake it very seriously.
lntegdty is very important At the end
of the day, what do you have left. That's
part of the reason why r think I've had a
good mediation and arbitration practice
because as a neutral if you are
determined not to be fair and have no
integrity, you won't get any wor:t dotng
that So this Is part of my ttainiog also.
There are many other lallel I look
forward to seeing happening. The
bigest issue after the airport is ftn.lshed
is the gir:neraJ plan update prooess. I sit
on the (General Plan Update
Committee) and that wil be ooe of the
most important isMJel we have lo thb

I really believe in community in the
city. How many times have you heard
that Newport Beach is made up of a
bunch of communities and villages? It's
true. And what I saw happening here -
you were not privy to the 500 or 600
e-mails; you got some of them. but not
all of them. Some of them were pretty
ugty, on both sides. What I saw
happening, the is.sue of religion never
came up, but I felt it was only a step
away.
I took th.is on as a major project
because. No. 1. with all of my

from almost everybody who lives on

in 2 to 3 inches of duck stuff. So. yeah. it

PERSPECTIVE
Don 't learn it
the hard way
Star of the game became
the goat with a very tough
error on the field of p lay.
T his is one which comes from
a little beyond our territorial
limits, but it's one you've just
got to hear.
It's the sem.ifin.als of the
state playoffs. in Tacoma. Wash., and
Lynden Oui.stian is on its way to a
hard-fought. but well-deserved 19-14
upset victory over the Elma Eagles. the
ticket to the stale championship in the
2-A division at the Tacoma Dome last
week. Just seven
seconds remain,
Lynden Christian has
the ball at midfield
and it's fourth down.
Rather than punt,
rather than run a
dive into the line
and giving the ball
up with perhaps a
second or two left,
the quarterback
takes the snap and ROGER
runs so yards in the CARLSON
wrong direction with
the intent on giving up a rwo point
safety as time expires.
The Seattle Tun~· \tory d~ not
make it clear who made the call.
although the coach 1s d~nbt.>d as
defending ·his call.·
So the quarterback took the \nap.
turned around and ran 50 yanh with no
one in front of him, crossed his own
goal line and dropped the ball to the
turf, where it rolled around unul an
Elma defender, who had been trdJ.ling
all the way, picked the ball up.
The quarterback. his teammates and
all of the Lynden Ouistian fans,
believing victory was assured, began
celebrating, only to see the referee'
signal not a safety and two point.., fo r
Elma. but-am and six point\ for Elma
Elma wins, 20-I 9. and all the FJma
fans are delirious. too. simultaneously.
You see. the quarterback d1dn·l take a
knee to the turf. He just dropped the
ball to the ground and 11 was a still a
live ball and a fumble.
lf he had just turned and thrown the
ball in front of him. even from within
the end wne. it would have been a
forward pass and an incompletion,
giving Elma a first down at midfield.
assuming any time was left. If he tossed
the ball out of the end w ne it would
have been a safety. But he 1ust dropped
it in the end wne and 11 was a bve ball.
The defender's actions were
described as "just picking up the ball;
but later he said he lcnew the ball was
live.
What a way to lose. And what a
burden the quarterback will carry with
him for most likely all of h~ life.
Some will tell you •it's only a game.·
but for those who have put their hearts
and souls into a common endeavor,
that statement is pretty hard to swallow.
Lyndet1 Olrlstian had dominated the
game. the quanerbaclc. had completed
two touchd<Mn passes and its fans
were celebrating.
1be jubilation and euphoria of the
upset victory was turned ins.ide out in a
matter or seconds and the shocked
football team eventually left the scene
wittiout comment.
Later the coach told the Bellingham
Herald his lcids "felt like they had won.·
The moral of the story is pretty
obvious: Whether you're a Lyne from
4'n<1en or a Sea King.from Corona dd

a psychic bid of rwo clubs and, instead of doubling for penalties,
Becker chose to rebid diamonds.
When Soudl bid two DO tJUmp, Nonb
realized Wesl was trying to pull a fast
one. aod bid what he thoughl he
could make -six clubs. Unfonunarely, bis partDC'f read this as
some ll()lt of super cue-bid. and made
lbe "obvious" bid of six 'f>ldu,
happy lO have found the right suit It last. BustrOS was too delighted with
lhls OOllU'llCI to even oomider dou-
bling. but 8ecUc pul1ed IO six no 1n1mp anyway.~ by West. who was~ bent over with laugbier as
he &laJ1Cd cashing spades. fle WU probably a bit unNqipy Iha! he could
00( run the suit. but two down dou-
bled wben the opponents could make
six clubs (c:ven a grand slam can be
made along double dummy lines)
