Gone was the freewheeling spirit that fueled the creativity of the '80s and produced international icons like Jackie Chan. There were exceptions, but too many Hong Kong filmmakers began to churn out timid, formulaic comedies with the same old stars.

As part of an ongoing trial in ovarian-cancer patients, Russell's colleague Dr. Eva Galanis constructed a measles virus that could also churn out a protein that can be picked up in the blood, allowing the investigators to measure how well the virus is working.

...scientists thought. Animal studies suggest that COX-2 also promotes chemical reactions that churn out prostacyclin, a protein that keeps blood vessels dilated and keeps platelets from clumping together to form blood clots. Doctors believe a drop in prostacyclin may also be behind the increased incidence of heart attacks and strokes in COX-2 users. In separate studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine last week, researchers found that high-dose Celebrex users were three times as likely as nonusers to die from a heart or stroke event, while those taking Vioxx had twice the chance of suffering...

A private school graduate, Barbara smiled and socialized her way through the day wearing blue jeans and floppy tops—then sat down to churn out ten-page papers at night. Out of a passion for urban planning, she spent hours riding the T and wandering Boston. She had dated boys in Lowell and Kirkland, but only knew one in Quincy...
