Distressing as it is to a conservative Christian, that kind of reading is mild compared with the pronouncements from the left fringes of contemporary scholarship. The efforts of moderate theologians to find new meanings in Scripture are burdened by the decrees of such groups as the Jesus Seminar, which seem determined to offend at all costs. The seminar is the invention of onetime Protestant clergyman Robert W. Funk, who now runs a Bible think tank, the Westar Institute. Since the mainstream press rarely covers the esoterica of New Testament criticism, he set an irresistible trap: he would gather "eminent" scholars...
...they could try to prevent these sorts of things from happening." And so a prefrosh is beaten, his application is withdrawn, his assailant is given a slap on the wrist (which is all that probation really amounts to), and the DU does not even receive so much as a mild scolding from the University...
...research published last week offers hope for a more precise test. Led by Dr. Gary Small, a UCLA psychiatrist, the study focused on a small group of middle-aged volunteers, all of whom had relatives with Alzheimer's and who complained of mild memory problems themselves.

After a computer sifted through the data, a striking correlation emerged. A group of 12 individuals who had inherited...

With his gap-toothed, tilted grin and his air of scrounging narcissism, Morse was simultaneously magnetic and faintly unsettling. You had to sympathize with his fellow executives, just a little, when they sang, "Got to stop that man . or he'll stop me." Broderick, on the other hand, is so beguiling that you are delighted when he becomes chairman of the board and heartened to hear...
...Food and Drug Administration okayed the first chicken pox vaccine. Although for most people the disease is a mild, if annoying, infection, it kills up to 100 in the U.S. each year. The vaccine will be available in six to eight weeks and will cost doctors $39 a shot...
