...Bailey Smith himself lends partial credence to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy that he so vigorously champions. The poisonous remarks emanating from his pulpit are almost enough to persuade a skeptical reader of Genesis that talking snakes do exist...
...silkworm to produce a disease-resistant hybrid that would eat virtually anything, it has been munching its way across the Northeast. As many as 30,000 caterpillars can infest a single tree, and each of them can consume five or ten small leaves a day. They seem especially partial to the majestic oak but also eat fruit trees like apple and cherry, the maple and, alas, the already imperiled elm. If nothing else is available, they will nibble away at spruce, hardy pines and hemlocks, even shrubs-more than 500 species...
...colleagues at Italy's National Cancer Institute, involved 701 women with tumors less than three-quarters of an inch in diameter. About half underwent radical mastectomies; the rest had "quadrantectomies," losing only the quarter of the breast with the tumor, plus lymph nodes in the armpit.

The results, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed no difference between the two groups in either recurrence of disease...

It was a way of asserting the power of reduction, a demonstration that the expressive...
...raises of $10,000, plus cost of living adjustments that would bring their top annual base salary to $73,420. The union threatened a coast-to-coast shutdown if the Reagan Administration continued to resist. A full walkout would ground about three-fourths of U.S. commercial flights. But a partial strike would probably be manageable, at least for a while...
