...report hints at the ravages and despair that can attend advanced AIDS, and of the partnership that can develop between long-term HIV patients and their physicians. But its findings can be used by either side in the legal debate. Champions of a perceived constitutional right to assisted suicide will argue that if so many doctors lacking Kevorkian's idiosyncrasies feel impelled to break a law on their patients' behalf, that law probably needs retooling. Opponents, however, may suggest that the current system works just fine: a statute outlawing assisted suicide, loosely enforced, will be reluctantly violated by doctors when...
Bunyavanich was nominated for the award by Michele N. Holbrook, assistant professor of biology. Bunyavanich traveled with Holbrook to Chile this past summer on a research partnership through the Radcliffe Research Partnership Program.

...gets. One such wife, Lorna Wendt, 53, has decided to fight that principle. She returns to court in Stamford, Connecticut, this week, having turned down a $10 million offer from her husband Gary Wendt, 54, the chief executive of General Electric's GE Capital.

Eventually the Leakey partnership soured. When Louis died in 1972, they had been separated for three years--in part because of his philandering. Returning in 1978 to a site in Tanzania called Laetoli, Mary made what she considered the discovery of a lifetime: the unmistakable footprints of a human ancestor, possibly Australopithecus afarensis, in the region's 3.6 million-year-old volcanic ash. Not only were these hominids walking upright--rather than on all fours as apes do--but they were doing it much earlier than nearly everyone supposed and without the big brains long considered necessary for bipedalism...
This unlikely partnership between the modern American minimalist and the chain-smoking Gallic dandy has resulted in 1993's Orphee, 1994's La Belle et la Bete and now Les Enfants Terribles, each based on a film of the same name by Cocteau. Distinguished not only by Glass's familiar, artful brand of minimalist music but also by Cocteau's impish, erotic sensibility, the operas are nevertheless quite different from one another. Orphee was a conventional opera that followed the script of the original film. With La Belle, Glass went a step further, stripping the film of its sound track...
