...Atkins, at 69 still the reigning guru of the movement, is back on the charts with Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution. Other low-carb diet books jamming the shelves include The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet and a plateful of spin-offs by Rachael and Richard Heller, Protein Power by Drs. Michael and Mary Eades, Sugar Busters!, The Zone and Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Foods. Some probably bought the Somers book for the color picture of her licking a butterflied-lamb-slicked finger, but it still became a No. 1 best seller, something her poetry collection (despite Johnny Carson...

Ashi's deteriorating condition made her eligible for a landmark experiment proposed by researchers at the National Institutes of Health. In September 1990 a team led by Drs. W. French Anderson and R.

Finally, a billion or so of Ashi's T cells, many of them now outfitted with...

"The content of the story," said the reader, "was about a modern-day brain operation using ancient tools from the Mayans." Did we run that? Yes, indeed...
...Hunter, meanwhile, is desperate. Her attempts to reach Brown at PHP on Friday were thwarted, she says, by a full voice-mail queue. She wants her husband to stay at Duke under the care of Drs. Trotter and Tuttle, whom she trusts. When a woman at PHP she believes was Brown finally returned her call Tuesday afternoon on the pay phone near the surgery ward, her message to Kim was that PHP "had a deal" with Duke that if it hadn't transplanted Todd over the weekend, it would move him to unc.
