Helen Miramontes wants a doctor to fill a hypodermic needle with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and inject it into her blood. No, the 66-year-old grandmother and professor of nursing is not crazy. She is part of a group of 50 doctors, nurses and health advocates who are willing to give their bodies to science to help test whether a live but genetically weakened strain of the aids virus is safe enough to be used as a vaccine...
Morning rounds on the surgical wards with Berde's team are a pleasant surprise to visitors. No one is crying or moaning. Children who had major operations only a day or two earlier seem comfortable. Some are provided with pumps they can activate as needed to inject pain killers through intravenous lines. Others have epidural catheters inserted in their backs, delivering medication into the space around the spinal cord to numb the lower part of the body. Such treatment provides steady control of pain, Berde says, and eliminates the need for the repeated shots most children dread...

But though the approach can certainly stimulate kids, it can just as easily leave them adrift. While the fifth-graders at Fernangeles were mulling over their handshake problem, a nearby fourth-grade class was fiddling with green and red tiles, trying to figure out how many green gates fitted into how many sections of red fence. "If there were 48 green doors," the teacher implored, "how many red fences do we need?" After a few minutes, one student incorrectly ventured...
...they called him. Or "Little Ice Water" or "Blazing Ben" or "the Hawk." Ben Hogan had almost as many nicknames as he did victories in golf's major championships, and that was nine. The sobriquets were mainly attempts to inject a little color into a man whose personality matched his no-nonsense golfing attire--white linen cap, beige shirt and sharply pressed slacks...
