...skirmishes over a road that had been closed by the rebels highlight the gulf that remains between the two sides. Yugoslavia's Serb government held a cabinet meeting in the territory Friday to underline its determination to resist KLA demands for independence. U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke brokered a cease-fire last fall to avoid NATO air strikes against the Serbs, but that was widely interpreted as the two sides taking a winter recess.

Using this technique, says Genset chief genomics officer Dr. Daniel Cohen, the company has found two different genes involved in prostate cancer.
