Still, the appearance of any compound that can positively alter the course of this relentless disease is cause for cautious celebration. "Half a loaf," observes University of Chicago neurologist Dr. Barry Arnason, whose research helped stimulate interest in beta interferon, "is a lot better than no bread." If the FDA goes along with the panel's recommendation and approves the drug, says Stephen Reingold, chief of research for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, "I predict it will be used widely -- and it should...
...GRIM STANDOFF NEAR WACO, TEXAS, BEtween the Branch Davidian cult and hundreds of federal officers, negotiations swung back and forth between confrontation and conciliation. The FBI, having already tightened the psychological screws by cutting off power to the 78-acre compound, beamed high-intensity lights on the complex at night and avoided cult leader David Koresh's endless telephonic religious chatter. Lawmen then had their first face-to-face meeting with Koresh's top lieutenants, and two days later agents drove three buses to the compound in anticipation of a mass surrender of the 105 men, women and children still...
...Mounds, Oklahoma. A set man from Patchett Kaufman Entertainment, a TV production company, drove by to scout out the 160-acre ranch as a possible location.

Looking to the future with surprisingly little fear, he hopes to fix up the crumbling Victorian...
...DOES ONE INDUCE THE MESSIAH TO SURRENDER to an unbelieving world he just knows is likely to clap him in jail for life? Federal authorities besieging the compound of the Branch Davidian cult outside Waco, Texas, have found no answers. After the Feb. 28 shoot-out that led to perhaps 14 deaths, the feds are loath to rush the cult's heavily armed compound again. Interminable telephone talks with cult leader David Koresh have got nowhere. Koresh did let Kathryn Schroeder, whose husband died in the shoot-out, and an adult man, the first to be let go, come...
