But often the results of such epidemiological studies are not entirely convincing. The problem: scientists must trace effect back to probable cause ratherthan identifying cause and looking for effects.

Farther back runs a deep trench that prevents vehicles from reaching the fence. Nearly a mile inside...
...after Fox had raised nearly $2 million in pledges for cancer research, his run came to an abrupt end, more than halfway to his goal. Three miles outside Thunder Bay, Ont,, and 3,336 from his starting point, Fox began coughing and choking, with pain in his neck and chest. He bravely ran on, so as not to disappoint spectators who had waited for him, but soon checked into a local hospital for tests. The verdict: his cancer has spread.
