...challenge that confronted heart-transplant teams in Blaiberg's case, as it has in all others, was more medical than surgical.

These antibodies are in the form of gamma globulin particles. Some remain on the surface of the lymphoid...

To investors who have been accustomed to getting only an interest return on loans, says Washington Economist Miles Colean, "an exposure to equities is like the taste of blood to a young lion." The insurance industry's new look may have an even greater impact on the stock market. If insurers could sell mutual-fund shares to all their 132 million policyholders, they might well generate a torrent of cash. The thought of how much that could lift...
