...second code five, six west" was on the overhead as we ran onto the floor. Two codes at the same time on the same floor? "They're both in here," called a very distressed female voice from a patient room on the far side of the floor. We charged in to find this scene: A nurse's aide was pushing and tugging at an unconscious woman, dressed in white like a nurse, lying face-down, unconscious, on top of an old, fat, naked man, also unconscious in his hospital bed.

...sight that lies next to him as he sits behind a low masonry wall. Sometimes he unslings the Steyr assault rifle from his shoulder and just blasts away. His targets -soldiers of the East Timorese Army, the FDTL-scurry about 200 m below. Every so often a bullet whines overhead, but from his hillside position on the edge of a small plateau near the capital Dili's television tower, Mosoco is a difficult target.

Yet park employees have seen tourists run over alligators with bikes and wheelchairs, throw rocks at them and stab them with sticks. People even put kids on the backs of the creatures for a gator photo op. "The alligator isn't the problem. It's humans," says park naturalist Maria Thomson...
Caldwell calls everything besides medical research “overhead costs.” ACS is paying employees, she argues, instead of funding scientists. If these employees are providing recently diagnosed patients with vital information over the phone, then we say keep...
