...Huang's novel procedure involves injecting cells from a fetal olfactory bulb, the part of the brain where nose cells terminate, into the damaged area of the spinal cord. Huang says the transplanted olfactory cells help repair damaged nerve cells in the spine. Although he hasn't yet published his findings, the results so far seem compelling. "I'm pretty convinced of definite sensory improvement and modest motor improvement" in Huang's patients, says Dr. Wise Young, a prominent expert in spinal injuries and chairman of cell biology and neuroscience at Rutgers University (where Huang studied under Young...

"They're still out here," Radon says to the others, as the tender rough-rides it back to the ACV. The crew express no animosity toward the elusive Indonesians. "They're not wearing gold chains...

But no sooner than a lone hallelujah is heard, Gloria is whisked backstage in a white dressing gown, to emerge through a side door a few minutes later wearing a smart gray suit. Tears spill down her cheeks. "I've prayed all week that the Lord would give me strength, and he has," she tells the congregation. "I feel like a new lady...
