...heart and soul of the offense is the lethal combination of Steve Moore (18 g, 13 a1) and Bala (5, 10). Together they form one of the most potent scoring tandems in the conference with Moore as playmaker and Bala as the sniper.

...discovery has a multitude of practical implications. Cystic fibrosis, for example, and some forms of kidney disease are caused by the failure of key proteins to get where they ought to be. Understanding the details of such failures could probably lead to powerful treatments. Indeed, Blobel's research has already helped scientists use tiny cellular "factories" to mass-produce proteins such as erythropoietin, which stimulates red-blood-cell production. A deeper understanding of cellular machinery, which Blobel continues to pursue, could eventually show how cells are damaged in Alzheimer's disease, cancer and infections...
...ought to be remembered that, as indisputably great a player as Wilt Chamberlain was, he often evoked a public awe closer to loathing than admiration. "No one roots for Goliath," he lamented to his Los Angeles Lakers teammate Jerry West. The observation was both personally felt and generally interesting in what it says about the way people look at giants.

There are lists of answers to "empowering" questions ("If your vagina could talk, what would it say?") and harrowing first...
