...Texas Medical Center is under some kind of a lockdown. Workers who came on duty last night arrived with suitcases. They'll stay until Sunday. My 80-year-old godmother has been a patient at Methodist Hospital for five days. Her doctor told me yesterday that if she wasn't released by noon today, she's staying until Monday. She's eager to go home, but he wants her to stay. "We know you'll have food and water and someone to take care of you here," he said. After Tropical Storm Allison flooded generators in 2001, the Med Center...
Looking forward, "no one can really know exactly how fast a human may be able to run," says Dennis Bramble, professor of biology at the University of Utah. Certainly, runners have been getting faster, as far as we know, but as Peter Weyand, an expert in biomechanics at Southern Methodist University, points out, our history of recorded time in sprints is relatively brief. "We have no way of knowing if humans might not have been even faster centuries or millennia ago," he says...
...rule on the case before the scheduled release of the commission's controversial report on pornography July 3. The commission said it had ''inadvertently'' dropped from its letter the name of the man who had supplied the list of suspect companies: the Rev.

I know how she would have reacted a year ago: with an awkward chill, a brisk Methodist propriety. These days, though, I imagine Clinton would have thrown back her head and guffawed. And maybe said something like "Ain't that the truth." That has been Hillary Clinton's story this year: she has learned how to be at ease with people like Margaret Dinock, and has come to believe that she - and only she - can adequately represent...
...said first-year head coach Traci Green. “I saw great improvement by most everyone.” At the start of the spring season, Harvard demonstrated that it had the potential to do some damage in the Ivies when it nearly knocked off No. 57 Southern Methodist University in a 4-3 loss at home. But over the course of the preseason, injuries and illness broke up the starting lineup and prevented the Crimson from competing at the top of its game. The squad dropped close matches to Wisconsin and Boston University and suffered convincing losses...
