Even before the appearance of protease inhibitors, there were signs that younger people were shrugging off the danger of AIDS. On average, half of new HIV infections in the U.S. occur in people under the age of 25, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctors talk about a rising incidence of HIV-positive teenage girls, who get the virus from infected men. They talk about a "second wave" among younger gay men. For those over, say, 35, tending to a sick friend or being tended has been a nearly universal experience. For those in their...
Thousands sounded during the war, and most were dismissed as false alarms. But in some ways, it doesn't matter if they were false or not because, as designed, the equipment was not sensitive enough to detect the kind of chemical danger Tuite believes exists at very low levels. At least some in the Army apparently agree, because chemical detectors used by Army workers who handle the poisons are calibrated to detect far smaller doses of chemical weapons than those used by troops on the battlefield...

If you believe in an eternal, unchanging God, you'll be in trouble...
...Wild Planet Toys; ages 5 and up The idea is for kids to use this groovy parabolic-dish gun and headset to listen in on sounds of nature--caterpillars munching, woodland creatures scuttling--they wouldn't normally be able to hear. Neat concept. There's potential for danger--like accidentally pointing the dish at speakers while big brother is playing Metallica. But used sensibly (on nature--Yeah, right!), it could be lots...
