...Five days earlier Gibson had taken an 11-hour trip back to Britain from a holiday in New Orleans. Based on this information, hospital staff quickly diagnosed a pulmonary embolism, a potentially fatal lung complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - blood clots in the veins - a condition that is often prompted by prolonged periods of immobility. Some experts believe DVT can affect as many as one in 20 aircraft passengers. Gibson stayed in the hospital for five days receiving anticoagulants. It didn't put her off flying altogether, but it did make her aware of some of the unexpected hazards...

The French Foreign Minister, Hubert Védrine, denounced the raid last week as having "no legal basis"-so much for solidarity. European leaders are deeply anxious about Washington's plans to build a limited missile shield, but the Bush Administration has said bluntly that while it's willing to talk over the details...
...what would you, a computer-owning middle-class type, get under the Bush plan? We regret to inform you that Bush's proposed streamlining of the tax code does not go far enough to make it immediately understandable to the layperson. Short answer: You'll get a little, maybe 5 or 10 percent off your current tax bite, no matter who you are. Add $1,000 for every kid and as much as $2,500 for every spouse...
