...Olympic all-around champion Patterson. These are powerful athletes who don't look as if they would snap with a wrong turn around the uneven bars. "Traditionally, the long and lean gymnasts have lost out to the more solid ones," says Bart Conner, 1984 Olympic gold medalist. "Because the leaner gymnasts don't have the stability to stick the landings. But that didn't happen this time...
...precise immune factors, or correlates, that prevent infection, testing any vaccine candidate that functions by triggering immune defenses would be guesswork. That's why, Fauci says, he rejected the proposal to do a large trial, involving thousands of patients and numerous immune correlates. "What I will entertain is a leaner, meaner and smaller trial that precisely asks and answers, 'Does the vaccine work and is it successful in lowering viral load?'" Fauci says. "If it does, then we go back and start investing more money, people and samples to see if we can find the right immunological correlates...
...strategy also reflects how defense and security challenges have changed. Sarkozy said terrorism was the biggest threat to French security, and he pledged to create a leaner, more mobile and better-equipped army.

"I am pleased with the way the campaign is going," he said just before Memorial Day weekend in an airplane hangar in California's Central Valley. "I think we are going pretty well." But even as he spoke...
...Flurry of action here now. Both teams are scoring pretty easily. Penn's Grandieri has another offensive rebound putback and another layup on a pretty pass into the post. But, Harvard counters with a McGeary three, following a pretty Lin leaner as the shot clock dwindled low and two Housman free throws. Harvard 74, Penn...
