...stormed the city at about 1 a.m. Friday from several directions. They quickly located former President Najibullah and his brother at a U.N compound, where they had been hiding since losing power four years ago. TIME's Meenakshi Ganguly, reporting from New Delhi, says TIME stringers witnessed Najibullah's bullet-riddled body hanging from a lamppost; the public has gathered at the spectacle. The Taliban, who since 1994 have captured most of the countryside, are in total control of Kabul. Says Ganguly: "People almost welcome them because they're more administrative and organized than the government. At the same time...
...blow had fractured her skull and lacerated her brain. She staggered only a little way to a barbed-wire gate before collapsing. "I knew," Graham told police, "I couldn't leave the key witness to our crime alive." Armed with a Russian-made Makarov pistol, he fired twice. One bullet caught her right between the eyes.

An autopsy revealed that either the crunching blow or the bullet could have killed...
TARGETING TOXINS Not so long ago, doctors thought they had finally found that long-awaited magic bullet in the war against cancer. Their great hope bears the impressive name of monoclonal antibodies, which are proteins that bind to--and attack--a particular target, usually another protein known as an antigen. But while natural antibodies go after antigens on the surface of viruses and bacteria, the artificial monoclonal antibodies are constructed to attack antigens that the immune system does not ordinarily recognize as dangerous, such as those displayed by tumor cells. Moreover, these antibodies (dubbed monoclonal because they are identical...
...bloom again. Microsurgically implanted grafts with one or two hairs each result in less puckering and bleeding than do larger implants with more hairs. With gene guns (still experimental), doctors might have an efficient way of delivering a new hair directly into a follicle by encasing it in a bullet made of fat. More encouraging yet, this year researchers studying a genetic disorder that causes hair and tooth loss identified the first gene that may be associated with baldness. They speculate that the gene codes for substances that create the necessary environment for continued hair growth. Perhaps the least invasive...
