...clinicians suspect that tau and beta-amyloid may each play a role, though not necessarily in every patient. For in contrast to the simplistic thinking that dominated the Alzheimer's field only two decades ago, medical researchers now believe this common form of senile dementia is actually a cluster of diseases that, like diabetes and heart disease, may have more than one fundamental cause...
...deadliest forms of childhood brain cancer--is more than a tribute to the skill of the cancer specialists, or oncologists, who treated him. It is also one of many small but significant mileposts that mark how far medical science has come in its fight against the cluster of diseases collectively known as cancer. The struggle has been long and hard and, unlike work in other medical fields, has produced few really dramatic breakthroughs. But patient by patient, tumor by tumor, doctors are beginning to gain ground. "We may not know how to cure most cancers yet," says Dr. Richard Klausner...
Those clues are being arduously analyzed by experts at the NTSB and the FBI. One cluster of NTSB engineers is tracking the trajectories of pieces of wreckage from where they landed to where they began to fall. This is done with computers that factor in radar records, wind direction and speed, and other data. The studies will help experts determine the sequence of catastrophic events that led to the plane's destruction. Also, the sharp sound at the end of the cockpit voice recording is being analyzed in minuscule detail, with attention to the different speeds at which the vibrations...

The trouble is, though, that no matter how much a bathing suit can do for you, it cannot do enough. And I state this as a theoretical principle, rather than a confession of personal inadequacy. A recent issue of PEOPLE magazine revealed that even the "most beautiful stars" are not allowed to display their own bodies in nude and seminude scenes. "Body...
