...have been a distraction to crew members that contributed to the accident. The three admirals who conducted the inquiry are now considering what kind of legal proceeding should be taken against the Greeneville's skipper, Cdr. Scott Waddle. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, meanwhile, is mulling whether he should clamp down on the services' allowing civilians to ride on their war machines. But the reception I've gotten in Nebraska explains why the Navy wants to continue the practice...
...because it happened in a region nearby and it's a clear message from the extremists to leave them alone, or else KFOR could be next.

We're dealing with a serious organization that has the training and logistical capability to mount sophisticated attacks. And there is little reason for optimism that KFOR has either the intelligence capability...
...they moved quickly to develop a compound that inhibits ACE-2. Scientists combed through Millennium's library of 700 different classes of compounds for molecules whose chemistry made them candidates to clamp down on ACE-2 activity. Then, with the help of protein-modeling software (see Bioinformatics box), they manipulated the chemical structure of their new inhibitor to give it optimal binding affinity with the ACE-2 receptor. In about two years, Millennium had created a new blood-pressure-drug candidate that is now being tested in animals...
