Your article "Proving The Chemistry Of The Brain" [THE FUTURE OF DRUGS, Jan. 15], on the latest medical developments for many serious diseases, contained inaccurate information about duloxetine, a compound being developed by Eli Lilly & Co. for the treatment of depression. Duloxetine is not among the class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. In fact, duloxetine is a powerful and balanced reuptake inhibitor of both serotonin and norepinephrine, one of the other main neurotransmitters involved in depression. This is a much different approach offering a potentially more effective and better-tolerated treatment. JOHN HAYES, M.D. Executive Director and Leader...
...Gaddafi led the press to his own doorstep last week to deliver his singular reading of the verdict and the road ahead. With his arm draped over the acquitted Fhimah, he posed before the destroyed Bab Al Aziziya compound, which was bombed by U.S. planes in April 1986, killing Gaddafi's adopted daughter Hana and several dozen others. An ebullient Gaddafi challenged the verdict of the court he had vowed to respect, saying he would come forward with new evidence of al-Megrahi's innocence so compelling that the judges would be moved to "commit suicide, resign or admit...
...Beijing outlawed it as an "evil cult" two years ago, Falun Gong?an eclectic mix of Taoism, Buddhism and Qigong breathing exercises?has prided itself on its organizational acumen.

But despite its outward cohesion, Falun Gong is struggling...
...embrace of good news. There is something ineffably seductive about denial - and for gay men, whose sex lives have been overshadowed by the specter of an incurable disease, the temptation to believe, to abandon oneself to the idea of a cure, must have been nearly irresistible. Even appearances can compound the denial: Thanks to the developments in drug regimens, many HIV-positive people look perfectly healthy for years, their rosy cheeks and robust schedules meaning that potential sex partners cannot detect an infected person by appearance alone...
...dusk last Tuesday, Johnny and Luther Htoo bore neither miracles nor M-16s, just Bibles in their knapsacks. The tiny teenage twins and leaders of the mysterious rebel force known as God's Army approached a company of Thai soldiers and asked for sanctuary. Whisked to a police compound in the nearby town of Suan Phung, they soon found themselves exchanging bewildered stares with Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai and a dozen of Thailand's top generals. As Chuan inspected his prizes, he gently stroked the boys' lice-ridden locks. "He totally demystified them," says Sunai Phasuk, of Forum Asia...
