...prevent certain serious birth defects of the brain and spine known as neural-tube defects. The U.S. Public Health Service has recommended that all women of childbearing age consume 400 micrograms of folic acid daily beginning before pregnancy. Despite the encouraging findings in the Journal report, there is no direct evidence that blood-folate levels in women ages 15 to 40 have reached protective levels. DR. JENNIFER L.

Gore can claim direct involvement in the breakthrough. He and then Prime Minister Chernomyrdin had sat across many tables over six years, negotiating issues from safeguards on plutonium to trade disputes over frozen chicken legs.

On that day, Chernomyrdin came as Russia's Balkan envoy to Gore's Victorian mansion in Washington to discuss the situation in Yugoslavia.

At Franco's 1975 death, Juan Carlos, above, at his 1962 wedding, took the throne. Spaniards expected little. But the King pressed the move to a constitutional monarchy. When militarists opposed it and attempted a coup...

Anne's objectivity when describing her own emotions, thoughts and actions allows the reader to become her and to observe her at the same time. Her direct style and self-comprehension enabled her to put emotions into words that most adolescents have a hard time putting into thoughts.
