...ignore the winds of changing fashion forever. This spring the Army will update its dress code for the first time in a decade. ALLOWED: Braids and cornrows, baldness (natural or chosen), dyed hair if it looks "natural" (no blue, pink or fire-engine red) and one cell phone, pager or digital organizer per person (but not all three).

The first fully implantable drug pump could change all that. Here's how it works: morphine is stored in a pager-size pump just under the skin of the abdomen. A plastic catheter runs from the pump to the fluid-filled space outside the spinal cord, where pain signals travel. When the patient presses a handheld remote, the pump sends a measured dose of morphine directly to the spine. According...
