More than a dozen assorted medical specialists worked on the cases, came to the unanimous conclusion that there had been connections between the placental blood vessels in each pair of twins during gestation.

Despite their originating from separate eggs, they may enjoy at least one of the advantages of identical (one-egg) twins: skin...

The once feeble Phillies have fooled everyone and ice-picked their...
