...detect many early cancers which otherwise defy diagnosis is by studying the cells in a minute quantity of fluid taken from the bone marrow (usually breastbone) through a large-bore needle, reported researchers at Ontario's Hamilton General Hospital. Even when cancer is not directly suspected, and when the symptoms are such common ones as anemia, fatigue, loss of weight, or changes in the white blood-cell count, they often find telltale cancer cells in the marrow. After running the tests on 4,100 patients, they now make them routinely in all cases where diagnosis is in doubt...

By nightfall, the huge unpainted boxes began to give up their secret. It proved to be a bitter one for Syngman Rhee. In a revolt that spread through cities and villages alike, the people of South Korea had dealt...
...money from this profession anyway," he says in an assertive manner that conflicts with his shy appearance. "You might as well do things that amuse you. It takes me a long time to write a piece of music-anywhere from months to years-and simple ideas would bore me before I got through. Anyway, I want to invent something I haven't heard before...
