...radical new approaches that could potentially transform the field of prosthetics. One method is known as ingrowth, or osseointegration, a technique that skips the sleeves and cuffs altogether and attaches the prosthesis directly to the bone. "It is one of the hottest ideas in the field," says Dr. Denis Marcellin-Little, associate professor of orthopedics at North Carolina State University, who tried the surgery (unsuccessfully) on a cat two years ago. "And it has the potential to greatly improve the life of humans, especially soldiers...

Accordingly, over the past 20 years France, publicly at least, had expelled only...
...Canard, which has been twitting French governments for years by printing juicy details of scandals involving political figures, promptly pinned the break-in on Minister of the Interior Raymond Marcellin whose office is responsible for all authorized wiretapping in the country. Marcellin's Ministry professed ignorance of the incident. But few Frenchmen were totally convinced.
