...When DJ Lethal joined Limp Bizkit a few months before the band recorded its debut album, he changed its sound. "It was more of a punk band--it had a punk edge," says Lethal, a Latvian emigre who had been a member of the Irish-American hip-hop band House of Pain. "What I brought in was more of a hip-hop side." He is working on a solo album...
Deejays bring the same feeling to rock. By sampling from various genres and eras, they make the past the present and vice versa; they turn rock into hip-hop and back again, throwing everything into the mix, making boundaries illusory. Lethal, for example, has 60,000 LPs in his collection, from different decades and different genres.

...workers soaked up potentially lethal doses of radiation, still more leaked from the plant in Tokaimura, the hub of the Japanese nuclear power industry.

By his mid-30s, he sold it off to begin what his family and friends thought would be a leisurely early retirement. When he told them he would cure cancer instead, they just laughed. How could a layman--even a wealthy one--do what had stumped even...
...disease that struck Nichols as a teenager was familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a genetic disorder characterized by a wild--and potentially lethal--growth of cancerous polyps on the inner lining of the intestine. The only recourse is to remove them surgically, along with the intestinal wall, and outfit the patient, at least temporarily, with a waste-collection bag strapped to the body. Nichols desperately wanted to protect his son from that grim experience...
