...wheedles himself a cushy job editing the epic Norma Desmond has written as a "return" vehicle for herself. His every need is attended by her slavishly devoted butler, Max (Erich von Stroheim), who erases his own identity in the service of "Madame." As the days wear on, a pattern develops: As the days wear on, a pattern develops: Joe learns never to refuse Norma what she wants, and, like a vampire, she seems to gain vitality and optimism as he loses...
...Guatemala. And this support is not passive--death squads are trained and equipped by Americans, and American agents often accompany them on missions. They often commit their most horrible atrocities just after returning from U.S. "refresher" training, and they have not hesitated to kill and torture American citizens. This pattern extends to many Latin American countries that the U.S. influences. Over the last few decades, the C.I.A. has supported the butchers of Haiti, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Panama, just to name a few. But there is only space in this column to quickly chronicle the sad tale...

Also, to suggest...
...middle-aged volunteers, all of whom had relatives with Alzheimer's and who complained of mild memory problems themselves. First the researchers drew blood samples to test for the presence of the Apo-E4 gene. Then they used a PET scanner (positron emission tomography) to record each patient's pattern of brain activity. After a computer sifted through the data, a striking correlation emerged. A group of 12 individuals who had inherited Apo-E4 showed diminished activity, particularly in the parietal region of the brain--a region that is dramatically impaired by Alzheimer's--when compared with other patients...
