...Clark of Cambridge University recruited 23 peanut-allergic children and fed them precise doses of crushed peanuts every day. At first they showed the typical allergic reactions: lots of itching, coughing and reddening of the skin.

...past five years in the West Bank village of Bil'in, there have been weekly rallies against the Israeli separation barrier, a section of which runs through the town. On Feb. 12, villagers protested while dressed as members of the Na'vi tribe from the 3-D blockbuster Avatar. The film, with its themes of oppression and resistance, has struck a particular chord with Palestinians, who now have cause to celebrate.
