DIED. JAMES EARL RAY, 70, criminal who confessed to killing Martin Luther King Jr.; of liver failure caused by chronic hepatitis; in Nashville, Tenn. After an international manhunt following the assassination, Ray was captured in England. Three days after pleading guilty to the killing, Ray performed one of criminology's most famous about-faces, protesting his innocence for the remainder of his 99-year sentence. His prison term was marked by botched jailbreaks and his steady insistence that he had only been the fall guy in a larger conspiracy to slay King, a claim that received the unlikely backing...
...cholesterol fighter developed by Warner-Lambert and marketed with Pfizer, roared out of the chute last year, the only Rx rookie to rack up $1 billion in first-year sales. Lipitor lowers cholesterol--and by extension the risk of heart attacks--by interfering with an enzyme that the liver uses to make cholesterol. Analysts expect sales to top $3 billion...

And I'll smile through my tears because she won't find it surprising...
...bones alone. The group, which includes Tyrannosaurus rex as well as velociraptors, is considered by many to comprise the direct ancestors of modern birds. Having the internal organs in hand could help support--or torpedo--that connection. Already, in fact, some scientists are suggesting that the position of the liver indicates an internal structure more like a lizard's than a bird's, undercutting the dinosaur-bird link. Its breastbone, on the other hand, says paleontologist Mark Norell of the American Museum of Natural History, could hardly be more birdlike...
