...identified as Fateh Kamel, thirtyish, an Algerian-born naturalized Canadian who later set up shop in Montreal to gather money and materiel but was arrested last April in Jordan and then extradited to France. Another member of the group, said French authorities, was Said Atmani, an Algerian zealot who may have roomed with Ressam in Montreal...
...Doubters may counter that the tech-stock surge is Y2K-related, and that business has been booming precisely because major corporations have invested heavily to fumigate their systems against bugs.

Unfortunately, according to a report in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, at least one commonly-used teaching technique may compromise young doctors' ability to see their patients as human beings. For many years, interns and residents have practiced a critical - some say unnecessarily invasive - procedure on patients who have failed to respond to 20 minutes of resuscitation and who are moments from clinical death.
