...available to its already exceptional student body. A number of the graduate students who received the fellowship this year said the money would give them the financial flexibility to pursue their passions. “There are a few public health projects that I want to get off the ground,” Gaur said. He intends to work on an online pharmacy project that examine Web sites that illicitly sell prescription drugs, an under-studied public health problem, Gaur said.

Archaeologists already dug up the mummies of ten nobles around the site, a sign, perhaps, that a more regal prize dwells within. Using ground-penetrating radar, they have spied out three further subterranean passageways which they believe could lead to the grave. "If this tomb is found," Hawass told TV reporters as they set about their dig this week, "it will be one of the most important discoveries of the 21st century." (See pictures...
