This week, as Alzheimer's researchers gather from around the globe for the giant World Alzheimer Congress in Washington, there's a dawning sense that scientists could be on the verge of stemming the epidemic. In recent years, new and startling insights into Alzheimer's have started to pour out of university, government and corporate laboratories. And thanks to an influx of interest and research dollars, the pace of discovery is accelerating. Exclaims Marcelle Morrison-Bogorad, who heads the Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging Program at the National Institutes of Health: "An awful lot of scientists are following an awful...
...would-be Democratic donor looks at the polls, looks at Bush, looks at Gore... and suddenly sees the House, GOP-controlled by only six seats, as his last best investment opportunity. A big check made out to the Democrats, who'll then pour it into the close races in hopes of tipping the numbers, puts the donor in a position to be a hero to any number of Democrats newly in charge of powerful committees who'll be very, very grateful. And congressional Democrats, used to being outspent 2 to 1, are quietly pimping those expectations...
...flaming plume. The satellite will alert ground-based radars in Hawaii and Kwajalein, which will begin searching the northeastern skies for the intruder. In a fully deployed system, early-warning radars in Alaska, California, Britain, Greenland and Massachusetts would get the alarm. Updates on the target's path will pour into the U.S. Space Command's outpost at Cheyenne Mountain, Colo. Computers there will assemble a "weapons task plan" based on the incoming weapon's trajectory and any decoys trying to fool the U.S. interceptor. Within minutes, the first draft of this electronic map will be zapped nearly...
...eschewed conventional wisdom, which holds any effort to start work on deploying a new missile defense system as a violation of the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty. Instead, they reportedly argue that the U.S. can begin clearing the system's proposed site on the Alaskan island of Shemya, and even pour its concrete foundations, without technically violating the agreement. But there is no court that umpires adherence to arms-control treaties, and Clinton's legal team is extremely unlikely to convince Russia's President Vladimir Putin that Washington isn't fouling...
...March, the stories--of toddlers caught in a cross fire, grandmothers murdered on vacation, six-year-olds gunned down at school--are as essential to the cause as are the T shirts and the slick website. The Million Mom March could not exist without such anguish. The stories that pour forth from women who have lost loved ones to gun violence are deeply personal and unremittingly awful. The tears flow at press conferences and in meetings at the White House. And this Mother's Day, as moms from around the country converge on the Washington Mall, the tears will spill...
