It packaged the news of the week into departments, hired researchers to provide background, and soon began to develop what came to be known as TIMEstyle.

But if both parents carry the abnormal gene, and it is proved by the birth of one child with cystic fibrosis, there is a one-in-four risk that any subsequent child will also be afflicted. Other diseases in the bad-risk group: some forms of mental retardation, deafness...
