...first-trimester test, though it costs $200 to $800 and is not covered by most insurance. More important, it greatly clarifies the range of options for expectant mothers, says lead author Dr. Fergal Malone, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland. "This is not a one-size-fits-all approach," he says. The first-trimester screening carries a high risk of false positives for older women, so a woman who has struggled for years to get pregnant and wishes to avoid the risks of a follow-up amnio might opt for the fully...
...Shown by a digital projector, every movie, whether it's a grainy, black-and-white indie drama or a blockbuster killer-thriller, looks exactly as the filmmaker intended. Every time. The digital system at the Curzon is one of 238 being installed in movie theaters across Britain and Northern Ireland over the next two years by the government-backed U.K. Film Council (ukfc). It's the start of the world's first large-scale rollout of digital cinema systems, and leads the way for similar changeovers in the rest of Europe, Asia and the U.S. The goal: to bring...
...brain's basement, where the crocodile lives, to the upper chambers may be the most impressive climb that humans attempt. In 1993 the traffic was heavy in both directions, from the world's lower brain to the upper, and back down again. Gestures of statesmanship, as lately in Northern Ireland, alternated with low-brain savageries: the lashing tribal wars of Bosnia, Somalia, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Angola, Burundi, Georgia, Nagorno-Karabakh . . . The list of conflicts went on and on, like a vicious geography lesson. The euphoria that had attended the fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of communism...
...easy to see the appeal of the new laws. No one doubts that the police and intelligence agencies face a monstrous challenge. Penetrating terror organizations as formally structured as the i.r.a. was tough, even for Northern Ireland?born intelligence operatives; so much harder, then, for the average local police officer to discover the plans of ad-hoc teams of murderers like the men who bombed Madrid and London, and who hide among Muslim communities that are themselves relatively impenetrable. But frustrating as it might be to the authorities, the collective wisdom of our ancestors says that before...
Like so many other Americans who work 100-hour weeks, Fitzgerald was born to immigrants. Patrick Sr. and Tillie Fitzgerald, both of County Clare, Ireland, raised four children in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Patrick Sr. was a doorman in Manhattan at a building on East 75th Street, just off Madison Avenue, and he rarely missed a day of work. In the summer, Fitzgerald worked as a doorman too, a few blocks south of his father. But from a young age, Fitzgerald was on track to join the crowds of Upper East Siders swishing past him. He attended Regis High School, a scholarship...
