While existing anticancer agents kill off lymphocytes and white blood cells, which control immune and inflammatory responses, thalidomide has no toxic effect on them.

UBS's Kristiansen sees no reason why Wal-Mart can't sustain earnings-per-share growth of 15%. Scott, who earns less than most other Fortune 500 CEOs, was leaving a store not long ago when he stopped to chat with one of the many senior citizens who work...
