But her tenure has been dominated by the irritations of what aides call "unsolvable" problems instead of the major achievements that dot the careers of great statesmen and -women...
...decades, traffic deaths of newly licensed 16-year-olds surged about 50% between 1975 and 1996. Even more troubling than the rising body count are the reasons behind it.

Jordan also stretched individual muscles between sets of weight-training exercises and, of course, as part of his warm-up routine before games...
STANDING TALL Synthetic growth hormones help short, healthy kids achieve new heights--sometimes. The first major study to follow such youngsters through adulthood concludes that on average, 50% of patients who received the daily hormone injections grew about 2 in. taller than expected. Doctors, however, can't predict which children will respond and which won't. Cost of the gamble? Up to $20,000 a year...
