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...

Tom Corbett of Huntington Beach, Calif., for example, had never been patient before he went flying with his grandkids. "I forced it on myself so I don't become anxious or annoyed," says the computer-systems architect, 58. "I don't want to associate anything bad with the thrill of flying."
