...three new genes. But their presence alone does not necessarily translate to an elevated risk of Alzheimer's. Each of the genes comes in different forms, or variants, that confer different levels of risk - some variants actually protect against Alzheimer's while others increase the risk. Beyond the effect of specific genes, their interaction with other genes and with an individual's environment may determine how powerfully they contribute to the risk of Alzheimer's. The new research has only identified the relevant genes; the next task for researchers is to figure out which forms of the genes confer...

Modern-day telethons have been distilled down to shorter, albeit star-studded, benefit concerts to respond to specific catastrophes - 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Indonesian tsunami, Australian bushfires - but none have had as lasting an effect as the MDA telethons, which have raised more than $1 billion to date.

The effect of such shifts is not only urgency, but a kind of dark humor. Though it may be hard to decide where “Hurt Locker” fits into the canon of war cinema, it is the most gripping American attempt at the genre since “Saving...
