...Sderot, a community within easy rocket range of Gaza, was killed in one attack on Monday. The Israeli Prime Minister visited Sderot on Tuesday, but received an angry reception from the residents - and a few Gaza missiles slammed down nearby, though Olmert and his entourage were never in danger. So far, Olmert is resisting calls by the army to launch a major offensive into the Gaza hornets' nest...
...film critics call ourselves journalists, though we can't be killed for it; the only danger in our line of work is getting bored or disappointed as we watch a movie. But we can respond to the palpable threat to our better, braver colleagues - those determined to bring the most important stories to their readers and viewers. Their gift is precious; the price they pay for it may be their lives...
...taken ingenuity. In patients like Robert Johnson, Ali delivers the functional gene using a virus that's been modified so it won't attack the eye or reproduce. The two trial subjects so far have not had severe immune responses to the new matter in their eyes - always a danger. Scientists are especially hopeful because the procedure worked so well in its animal trials. Scanning the eyes of dogs that underwent the procedure, researchers could see how the photoreceptor cells had changed. More important, the previously blind dogs could see well enough to navigate through a maze...

The food...

"Alcopops are like boy bands: here today, gone tomorrow," he says. "But cider has existed for hundreds of years - we've simply added an enhancement." What's more, says Pratt, "Magners has been carefully positioned by us as anything but fashionable." Perhaps, but the pace of Magners' U.K. growth did slow slightly over the winter. C&C is confident demand will pick up again with the warmer weather, and it expects Magners' share of the total...
