He won the men's nationals in 1989 and '92, but his fights with coaches and off-rink habits?drinking, cocaine, women?began to overshadow his talent. At the time of his death from unknown causes in a Los Angeles hotel room, Bowman weighed more than 260 lbs. (118 kg) and was said to be depressed over the end of his marriage...
...Stem-Cell Breakthrough? Michael Kinsley's commentary about stem-cell research was disappointing, especially in that he let emotional rhetoric overshadow scientific evidence [Dec. 10]. Many cures and treatments have been derived from stem cells - but none from embryonic cells. Ethically sound adult stem cells, which have been studied for 30 years, are a proven source of medical advances, so we haven't "lost years" of treatment development. Moreover, taxpayer dollars weren't used to fund the destruction of human life in that time. It was a moral stand President George W. Bush made. Let's move on with consensus...

...Science Kathleen M. Buckley. Hyman and McNeil did not return requests for an interview. Tabak said the comments raised concerns about the scoring system for awarding grants, which currently permits wide discrepancies between individual reviewers. He added that grant applications sometimes require excessive detail about research procedures, which may overshadow the project’s potential scientific impact. Hoping to nurture new scientists, the committee proposed funding more projects undertaken by younger investigators who have never before received a grant. On average, science Ph.D.s are 41.8 years old by the time they receive their first grant, according...
