...American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) would like to change this. At its annual meeting, held in San Francisco on Monday, the AAP released two reports: one aimed at helping pediatricians recognize autism spectrum disorders - in all their varieties - by age 2 and the other at providing guidance for early intervention.

...wake of the revelations about the possible immunity offer, which were first reported Monday by the Associated Press, Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that is investigating Blackwater, fired off a letter Tuesday to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice raising a series of issues.
