Over the years, Morton has traced each family's genetic heritage through 14 generations. He has determined a carrier frequency for the disorder among the Amish of about 1 in 10 people. Working with Dr. Richard Kelley, a pediatrician, Morton diagnosed glutaric aciduria in 16 other Amish children. The doctors' studies predicted that 50 more children born in the next generation would inherit the two copies of the defective gene needed to cause the disorder. According to the statistics, without treatment nearly all would be disabled, and 12 of them would die before age 5. "Glutaric aciduria is a treatable...

"Mentoring is the key to the whole welfare-to-work program," says Talani Wilson, 23, a new personnel clerk and single mother who had been spending six hours a day commuting...
...fact, AT&T's fumbling grab for SBC--which the company has never admitted making--reflected the frustration of even the largest long-distance carrier in trying to break into local calling. AT&T, which holds a 53% share of the long-distance market, has vowed to provide local service in all 50 states and to seize at least a third of the market in five to 10 years. But AT&T today offers local calling to households in parts of just six states (California, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Georgia), and will be in no more than...
