...tremendous rookie performance from Jim Carey. No, not the pet detective, but the one in the mask (thanks, ESPN). Carey would have been propelling Wisconsin to the 1995 college hockey national championship, but decided to pass up his senior year.

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...

The bill, which was vigorously attacked by Democrats as an assault on the nation's children and poor, would slash funding for a host of housing, drug, job and education programs-including President Clinton's pet project, AmeriCorps. The Administration indicated that the President would veto the measure if it survives the Senate...
