...this damage may give arteries the scarred and thickened texture that provides circulating cholesterol with a place to stick and grow. In the young boy, accelerated homocysteine production caused by a genetic defect apparently led to accelerated damage. In both instances, however, McCully points to the same chemical culprit. "The underlying cause of heart disease," he says, "is an imbalance in the system that controls homocysteine levels...

In 1989 Frederic Whitehurst blew the whistle on the FBI lab, and now he is viewed as the culprit. But in 1979 William C. Sullivan, former assistant director in charge of the domestic intelligence division, published a book that stated, "The FBI laboratory is in fact a real-life counterpart of the busy workroom of the Wizard of Oz--all illusion...
