...back end of a weekend road double feature against Gehrig heavyweights Princeton and Cornell, the Crimson (8-9-1, 4-0 Ivy) swept the defending division champion Big Red (5-12, 1-3) on its own turf. And it did so in dominant fashion, scoring 26 runs and allowing only nine...
...Princeton and Cornell, though, Harvard encounters perhaps the two most dangerous challengers to unseat it as Ivy League champion. The Big Red captured the Gehrig Division crown a year ago, wresting it from the habitual grasp of the Tigers...
...vegetables and fruits have antioxidant properties that offer significant protection against cancer and other chronic diseases, as well as protection from a range of environmental toxins, including pesticides.

It's also a good idea to take a daily multivitamin-multimineral supplement that provides the right doses and forms of the key antioxidants: vitamins...
...Great Gene Hunt. It was an extraordinarily productive year for the genetic engineers racing to unravel the secrets of human DNA. Scientists not only pinpointed genes linked to more than half a dozen major ailments -- including Lou Gehrig's disease, Huntington's disease, colon cancer, hyperactivity and a type of diabetes -- but also sketched out the first rough map of all human chromosomes. Other researchers explored ways to use this information to replace damaged genes. The first beneficiaries of ''gene therapy'' -- two Ohio girls who have an immune-deficiency disease -- made their public debut after three years of successful treatment...

He was huddling with others who shared his misery and his sense of mission. The names they whispered were foreign to midtown Manhattan. Not Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, and Joe but Ruth (as a pitcher), Foxx, Williams, and Dom. The group recounted bygone Boston glories and dared to predict future victories. From such hushed intercourse, movements are born. These renegades with their neckties, bow ties, wingtips, and dedication to the Sox weren?t unlike Hancock, Revere...
