...After identifying an enzyme that allows fat to be stored in the body, scientists bred mice without those enzymes, and found those mice were able to consume far more food than their unaltered fellow mice - and still weigh 10 to 15 percent less...
AIDS in Africa bears little resemblance to the American epidemic, limited to specific high-risk groups and brought under control through intensive education, vigorous political action and expensive drug therapy. Here the disease has bred a Darwinian perversion. Society's fittest, not its frailest, are the ones who die--adults spirited away, leaving the old and the children behind.

This grated because Thalía and another talented performer, Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, were both being groomed at the time for an "imminent" crossover to the English-speaking market by producer Emilio Estefan, husband of Gloria and Mottola's best...
