...today, it doesn't have the hardware. That may be changing. Last week, Lee Wen-chung, chairman of the defense committee in Taiwan's legislature, disclosed that the island was developing missiles that could reach Chinese cities. "Taiwan has the technology and capability to develop a medium-range missile program, which is supported by a secret government budget," Lee told TIME. "We've entered the test-fire phase and may be able to begin mass production in two to five years." In a statement last month, Premier Yu Shyi-kun made it clear that Taiwan would use the missiles...
...other cardiac problems than women who exercised. But don't discount the impact of slimming down. In another study in J.A.M.A., research from the ongoing Women's Health Study found that overweight and obese women?regardless of how regularly they exercised?were up to nine times as likely to develop diabetes as women of normal weight. Bottom line: there's no easy way around it. Stay trim and active...

Dean, because he couldn't talk about Vietnam, might have focused on other things--like Bush's failure to get tough with the Saudis or fund homeland security--that Americans care more about than whether Lieutenant Kerry deserved...
...enough to be considered cancer free turned out to have prostate cancer, and 15% of those had aggressive, high-grade tumors. It now seems that the PSA's rate of increase over time may be a more valuable measure than the raw number itself. But doctors clearly need to develop better diagnostic tests, says Dr. Peter Carroll, executive editor of the foundation's report. They also need better ways to determine which cancers are growing so quickly that they must be removed and which are growing slowly enough to be left in place...
