WASHINGTON: TIME science writer Christine Gorman says despite fresh evidence that downing diet drugs Redux and fen-phen could cause heart-valve damage, it's not time to outlaw the pills.

But the Alaska-bound ferry Malaspina loaded with American tourists remains hemmed in by a tiny armada of Canadian fishing boats at Prince Rupert. The vigilantes are protesting Alaskan catches of the premier salmon as they swim toward Canada.
