It wouldn't have happened, say the authors, had it not been for Bono's on-the-spot ability to switch "to a completely different language," abandoning his fact-laden pitch to talk religion with Helms...
Welcome to the Care Rehabilitation Center, part of a three-year-old experiment to reform malleable minds who have fallen under the sway of Osama bin Laden's radical brand of Islam.

Puzzled by the paradox, Stamler and his colleagues decided to look more closely at banked blood - to figure out whether it underwent certain changes that turned it from life-saving in the donor to potentially deadly...
