...near the city of Xizhou, one of the poorest areas of SARS-hit Shanxi province, spent the night of May 6 lighting firecrackers to scare the disease away. Days later, the Worker's Daily criticized the practice, saying "the spread of superstition is another type of epidemic" that will "disturb and injure the people."

...Lost - a submerged gynecologist's office containing 20 live carp - with the Hirsts distributed among the other works. Most visitors will enter at the front through a passage framed in white marble. The back entrance leads into a grand hall with some hyper-realistic Duane Hanson figures.

What happens in the pancreas or liver can directly affect brain function. Disorders of the brain, conversely, can send out biochemical shock waves that disturb the rest of the body. The pages that follow, our annual special report on health, take you to the cutting edge of mind-body research, where scientists, having left Descartes's great mistake far behind, are exploring how the brain works, how it malfunctions, and what can be done when...
