...control throughout the tissue-bank industry. (By contrast, storage problems are simpler when harvesting whole organs like hearts and livers, which have to be transplanted immediately.) "It's almost like anybody with a chainsaw and a pickup truck can go into the body-harvesting business," says Don Keenan, an Atlanta attorney representing 14 clients pursuing claims against CryoLife. One of them is the family of Brian Lykins, 23, who died three days after what should have been routine orthopedic knee surgery last November. His death was caused by a strain of bacteria associated with decomposing tissue. "We know the cadaver...
Some politicians can use weaponry to look cool--remember Yeltsin on a tank? But at a recent reception in a supporter's house in Atlanta, the strategy backfired on campaigning Republican Representative BOB BARR of Georgia. A National Rifle Association board member and gun-safety advocate, Barr was inspecting a 1908-model Colt .38-cal. pistol with his friend, lobbyist Bruce Widener, when the weapon discharged.

The Windy City intends to move some 60,000 people out of crowded, bullet-scarred projects like Cabrini and into private apartments or new low-rise public housing in mixed-income neighborhoods scattered around the city...
...conversation with a very attractive girl is actually a really selfless act. But honestly, my conclusions are based entirely on a short period in which I ended up sitting next to southerners every time I rode the bus, and in particular on the behavior of these two roommates from Atlanta who would line up for the bus together every morning. Yet somehow when they got on, would end up at opposite ends, and then, shouting, carry on a conversation that usually went something like this...
