Some appear to be stable and don't grow much, whereas others contain an explosive combination of hardened fat and inflammatory proteins that make them likely to burst, triggering a heart attack. Neither CT nor MRI scans can reliably distinguish between the two sorts of lesions. Researchers are developing compounds that are chemically attracted to the inflammatory components of an unstable plaque with the hope of someday tagging trouble spots that need to be treated.

PT 109 burst into flames, two men were killed, and the 11 surviving crew members had to abandon the boat. Four hours later, after swimming almost 5 km, the men reached Plum Pudding Island, since renamed Kennedy Island. Though well sheltered by trees, the atoll provided little food; a couple of days later...
