...there appears to be some sort of correlation between type 2 diabetes - the type that's associated with obesity, and which often appears later in life - and Alzheimer's disease. Now a number of brand-new studies, presented at a major Alzheimer's conference in Madrid, has strengthened that link. In one, Swedish researchers looked at 1,173 people over 75 and concluded that people with borderline type 2 diabetes - that is, chronically elevated blood sugar - were about 70% likelier to develop Alzheimer's than those with normal sugar levels. Another study, based in the U.S., looked at the medical...
...Finally, Eros published a piece that was erotic and artful: an eight-page "photographic tone poem" by Ralph Hattersley Jr., called Black and White in Color: African-American guy, European-American gal, both nude. They link hands; they kiss, in silhouette; and in the last shot they press against each other. The mood is chaste and a little solemn; no pubic parts go public. Yet this was the feature that got Eros hauled into court. Several commentators wondered at the time, and I do now, whether the essay would have been deemed so objectionable if the two people had been...
...didn't take long for a link between Hizballah's raid and the events in Gaza to be established."In order to fulfill a promise to free the prisoners and detainees, the Islamic Resistance captured at 9:05 a.m. two Israeli soldiers at the borders with occupied Palestine," Hizballah said in a statement.

...were guilty. Townspeople produced shell casings, which they claimed to have found on the street, of the same kind used in the soldiers' new Springfield rifles. A number of eyewitnesses also claimed to have seen black soldiers in uniform on the streets during the shooting. But no evidence could link anyone to the incident, and subsequent investigations revealed the eyewitnesses to be unreliable-a nearly blind man claimed to have seen soldiers 150 ft. away on the moonless night-and heavily biased. "Citizens of Brownsville entertain race hatred to an extreme degree," said Major General F.C. Ainsworth, the Army commander...
OPENED. Qinghai-Tibet Railway, a 1,142-km, $4.2 billion engineering marvel connecting the remote Tibetan capital to the rest of China; in Lhasa. While the Chinese government has hailed the rail link as an important step in developing Tibet's economy, critics say it threatens the country's delicate environment and will erode Buddhist culture by increasing an influx of ethnic Chinese immigrants. Reaching an altitude of 5,000 meters, the railway is the world's highest; tickets for its inaugural July 1 journey sold out within 20 minutes of going on sale last Thursday...
