With its five-man horn section, the group is also the most successful attempt yet to combine jazz-flavored brass and reeds with rock guitar and rhythm. The musicianship displayed in its complex arrangements and lithe, leaping solos is second to none in the rock world. In an era when more and more rock is being introduced into music, B.S.&T. is introducing more music into rock...

Andrews maintains an around-the-clock watch on the preemies by taping up each one with yards of plastic tubing and electrodes that monitor the heart rate, the blood's oxygen concentration and temperature. Forced Uphill. Among preemies, a common cause...
Most of our complex emotions can be traced to the gurgling of enzymes. Even happiness.

And the same goes for tense, moral anguish. Perfectly above-ground psychiatrists have been giving their uncomfortably anxious patients a drug called librium (itself one of the atomic elements) to space them out a little more...
