...With Ebert absent for the past two years, Roeper and an array of guest critics - from the Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips to the New York Times' A.O. Scott - have kept the weekly show going.

It is also becoming the chief element in an intensifying showdown, within the Administration as well...
...another gene similarly blocked the receptor that allows HIV to enter white blood cells; far fewer people carry that variant. In the lab, Weiss found that the African-specific receptor, called DARC, or duffy antigen receptor for chemokines, also interacted with HIV: the receptor binds to a wide array of proteins that suppress the virus's replication. Intrigued, but unable to explain why the lack of the receptor increased HIV infection, Weiss teamed up with geneticists at the University of Texas and elsewhere to analyze how the gene variant impacts HIV rates in real populations...

When you look at the balding, paunchy, middle-aged Israel, “danger” is not the first, or even second, word that comes to mind...
...thing Buffett wasn't about to say no to was dessert. He delighted in sampling an array of them, telling the waiter: "Just bring a couple of spoons, and I'll have a little of everyone's." His zest for life is clearly undiminished - indeed, in Berkshire's latest annual report, he wrote that he and his octogenarian partner Charlie Munger "tap-dance to work...
