...Clearly, caution was the watchword of the week. A suspiciously high number of plane crashes, train smashes and the odd tourist-bus explosion seemed to give everyone the collywobbles. There was William Cohen grounding every military training plane in sight (just in case), Congressional committees trying to keep our boys off the Mir (in case any more satellites decided to fly into it) ? and Ted Turner pumping Kofi Annan with a billion-dollar handshake (in case the U.N. should collapse for want of Time-Warner shares). Even the Pentagon got jittery when the Oslo accord tried to prise a pile...
...odds that such a compound will materialize now seem high. But experts caution that it could take years before the first telomerase inhibitors are ready to be tested on humans to determine if they'll have any serious side effects--or if they'll actually inhibit tumor growth. Such questions are perhaps one reason Geron's stock leveled off at week's end, closing at 12 1/4 a share...
...like a Chief Executive who throws caution to the winds and surprises his staff members by being more candid than they are, Travolta isn't the least bit cagey about his role's model.

Holly filed for divorce from the spandex-faced comedian on June 25, citing--and this is the shocking part--irreconcilable differences. The split had long been rumored, partly because Holly and the director of her new movie Long Time, Nothing New, Ed Burns, seemed...
...suspended mixed-gender training in 1982 after a five-year attempt--too many women were injured and too many men complained that training with women wasn't tough enough--then reinstating it in 1994. While Army officials insist it's going well this time, reports from the field suggest caution. "Some male drill sergeants said standards had to be lowered to accommodate females, especially for physical training," a new Army report says. "They felt they could not go 'full bore...
