Researcher and health policy expert Barry R. Bloom was named the next dean of the School of Public Health, President Neil L. Rudenstine announced on June...
...Back then I was havin' such a good time bein' me," Buffett says. "I was like a flower in bloom." He wrote a satchelful of sparkling, finely detailed songs about life in the Keys and toured constantly, attracting a following and then a new record deal. Promoting himself, he liked to imply that he had smuggled marijuana to make ends meet.

...problem indeed. Of all the bacteria that bloom in the body, E. coli is usually one of the most beneficial, helping to metabolize food in the intestine. In 1982, however, scientists discovered that E. coli wasn't always so benign. That year 26 people in Oregon were felled by a violent infection and intestinal disorder, and when doctors analyzed the bug behind the illness, they found that it was all but indistinguishable from ordinary E. coli, with but a small exception: this breed of the bacterium contained a few strands of genetic reweaving that cause it to produce a powerful...

To their surprise, the researchers found that walking didn't shorten the labor or reduce the need for pain killers, nor did it lower the rate of C-sections. But a full...

Attorney/client privilege isn?t about protecting the lives of future presidents, it?s about keeping Bill Clinton?s secrets, and there?s no longer any way to obscure that. But losing some PR bloom won?t deter the White House legal team. "Ordinarily, a third party like Cockell isn?t covered by attorney/client privilege -- if the window washer overhears things, he can talk about them," says Cohen. "But the White House can claim that since Clinton is required to have the agents near...
