Outside Mission Control, in the hot path the flaming Columbia cut through the sky, no one needed to see computer data to know the day had taken a bad turn. In Nacogdoches, Texas, 17-year-old Heath Drewery was in bed when he was jolted by what sounded like an explosion outside his house. "I heard this big rumble and thought a train had derailed," he says. He and his brother piled into their truck and drove into town, where the street was littered with debris. "There were pieces all over the place. It looked like it was charcoal...
...DIED. EDWARD HEATH, 89, moderate leader of Britain's Conservative Party who, as Prime Minister from 1970-74, brought the U.K. into the European Economic Community (now called the European Union); in Salisbury, England.

...roster of his recruits reads like a literary Who's Who. He bought one of the first editions of McWilliams' The Word Processing Book and dispatched copies to Television News Commentator John Chancellor and former New York Times Editor Harrison Salisbury.

He is thunderously imposing in the court scenes but not free enough when howling, half-maddened, on the heath. Otherwise, the energetic farewell production by Stratford Artistic Director John Hirsch is strikingly played, notably by Richard McMillan as Edgar, Lewis Gordon as Gloucester, and McKenna as a passionate, not just saintly, Cordelia. In an echo of Twelfth Night, Hirsch also features the Fool, whom Nicholas Pennell, unbearably mannered as Malvolio, plays with clearheaded reason and heartbreaking foresight. Together...
...Heath care is likely the most important victim of America’s insatiable urge to sue; fears of malpractice suits push doctors to over-medicate their patients and employ expensive medical procedures excessively. In the last thirty years, for example, the number of American babies delivered by Caesarian section has increased five-fold, an increase fueled in part by bank-breaking jury awards in malpractice suits that found doctors liable for the pain and suffering of patients born with congenital diseases, such as cerebral palsy. A 2003 study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, however, found that...
