Lieut. Colonel Vincent DiFronzo, an F-15 pilot, says the Iraqi missiles and artillery are getting closer to hitting U.S. warplanes, which fly at more than 20,000 ft. to avoid Iraqi fire. "They're making adjustments that allow them to cover more altitude," he says. The Iraqis fire usually with no electronic guidance, which would sound an alarm in U.S. cockpits.

The real payoff came late last year, when Fred Gage at the Salk Institute and his colleagues in Sweden reported that nerve cells are regenerated in the human hippocampus (a portion of the brain related to memory...
