...Brown's fallopian tubes, Oldham Hospital's Steptoe, 65, a highly respected gynecologist, and his colleague, Cambridge University Physiologist Robert Edwards, 52, undertook a remarkable procedure they have been experimenting with for a decade. They removed a ripe egg from Mrs. Brown's ovary, placed it in a laboratory dish and added sperm from her husband. After incubating the ovum as it began to divide, they finally placed the developing embryo in the uterus, where it became implanted and continued to grow into a fetus in what seemed to be an entirely normal...
...Greenfield, Iowa, this summer is an extraordinary clarifier. Down the line of porches the past echoes. There is a rhubarb patch-survivor of a century of drought, blizzard and small boys-that still yields its tender shoots for pies, a singular delicacy, which, when done right, is a dish to tempt a Paul Bocuse. A hand pump still stands proudly on a cistern. The rope hammock strung between the phi oak and the sugar maple is ragged but enduring, curving invitingly in the dusk. Hollyhocks fringe the small barn with the hayloft and the split door. The barn had been...
...Arizona team began applying anticancer drugs to cells taken from tumors and then culturing the cells in order to, in their words, "determine whether there are correlations between what is observed in the petri dish and in the patient." Tumor cells taken from nine people with myeloma, a bone marrow malignancy, and nine with ovarian cancer were exposed to varying concentrations of several anticancer drugs, then cultured in petri dishes. The researchers compared the effects of the drugs on the cultured cells with the patients' responses to the same drugs. In all but one case, the effects matched...

Where else can you get a deep-dish whole wheat-crust pizza topped with (mmm) walnuts and broccoli? Nowhere! Seriously, though, Bel Canto's offers an interesting, tasty and rather expensive variation on the all-American dish. Definitely worth a try but be forewarned--the place is tiny, the service is slow, and at peak times you have to wait...
Because of the heightened tensions, both sides overreacted to what normally would have been considered a rather minor incident. Two weeks ago, American construction workers discovered listening devices, including a dish-shaped antenna, in a chimney of the U.S. embassy in Moscow. At the base of the chimney, the workers found a tunnel, which they followed to a nearby Soviet apartment building. They caught a brief glimpse of a fleeing Russian, who had been monitoring listening equipment, then realized that they were on Soviet soil T?or, rather, beneath Soviet soil 5?and retreated. Administration officials called the incident "particularly...
