...wake of the Daiwa and Barings bank scandals. The Fed expelled Daiwa from the United States last month for covering up $1.1 billion in trading losses, while Britain's Barings collapsed amid losses by a single trader. Greenspan told a House Banking subcommittee exploring U.S. regulators' failure to detect the Daiwa losses that stronger internal controls are needed in a complex global banking system in which such internal failures can quickly cause wider financial havoc. "Whenever something like the Daiwa scandal occurs, congressional leaders are called on both to defend current regulation and to assess possible reforms," says TIME...
...come," says Slobodan Antonic, a commander of the main Serb military force there. "We have laid 250,000 mines, dug 62 miles of new trenches and built more than 100 new bunkers." Despite Tudjman's "crude saber-rattling threats," as one U.S. State Department document has called them, mediators detect a willingness to reach an agreement that would install international monitors for two years before the Croats regain control...
...perform any useful function. And sure enough, while the Sydney virus retains the ability to infect T cells--white blood cells that are critical to the immune system's ability to ward off infection--it makes so few copies of itself that the most powerful molecular tools can barely detect its presence. Some of the infected Australians, for example, were found to carry as few as one or two copies of the virus for every 100,000 T cells. People with aids, by contrast, are burdened with viral loads thousands of times higher...
Despite these constraints, Swaab and his colleagues were able to detect some intriguing patterns. They compared the brains of two dozen "ordinary" men and women. For the most part, the brains appeared to be the same until the researchers examined a section of the hypothalamus called the BSTc. Although no one knows for sure what this tiny patch of neurons does in humans, earlier studies have indicated that, in rats at least, it plays a key role in regulating male sexual behavior. Half the men in the control group were heterosexual and half were homosexual. Yet, regardless of their sexual...
