...Please don’t tell a soul that I said this, but I honestly think the only reason I got the grades Princeton required was because throughout the algebra and the Latin and the Romantic poets, the thing that kept me going was the thought of the oxygen facials you could get in New York,” Sykes’ protagonist admits...
Perhaps the most stinging charge is that Eisner has repelled corporate talent, particularly anyone with CEO potential. Disney has suffered an exodus of executives during his tenure. Its cast members no longer include execs like Paul Pressler, now at Gap; Geraldine Laybourne, who quit to co-found Oxygen Media; and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the man behind The Lion King, who co-founded DreamWorks. Comcast's No. 2 executive, Burke, is a fast-track escapee. He spent 12 years at Disney and proved himself a skilled executive by recharging Disney's consumer-products division (it faltered after he left) and reviving Euro...
...might that happen? One of the most potent weapons produced by macrophages and other inflammatory cells are the so-called oxygen free radicals. These highly reactive molecules destroy just about anything that crosses their path - particularly DNA.

The abnormal growth is still not a tumor, says Lisa Coussens, a cancer biologist at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, San Francisco. But to the immune system, it looks very much like...

Cynics noted that all the Democrats with national aspirations--including Edwards, Lieberman, Kerry and, down the road, Hillary Clinton--had voted for the war. In Kerry's case, it was viewed as an antidote...
Lovley's dual pursuits of scientific exploration and natural surroundings led him straight to the discovery of a group of remarkable microbes he named Geobacter, which breathes rust instead of oxygen, thrives in polluted earth and can even generate electricity. When Lovley first found Geobacter in silt beneath the Potomac River in 1987, he had no idea how capable it was. "I never thought it would go this far," says Lovley. "But Geobacter can do so many things...
