Others have not been so quick to join Batista's backers. "It's a good idea," says Dr. Lawrence Kohn, a cardiac surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, "but we're waiting to see the scientific proof." And lack of proof has certainly been a problem. Because many of Batista's patients do not have phones and come from all areas of Brazil, he has done little to track the long-term effects of his procedure. Surgeons in Brazil were no more eager than most American doctors to accept Batista's claims. "When I first heard...
Nonetheless, Fisher readily admits that Kodak botched the launch last year of its 24-mm Advantix camera (price range: $50 to $250), the company's other major new high-tech consumer product. Kodak figured that shoppers would snap up a camera that loaded film in snafu-proof cassettes and produced high-quality photos that could be captured on film, filed easily and transferred to computers. But the launch, estimated to have cost $100 million, faltered for a lack of sufficient cameras in stores and a shortage of processors equipped with gear to develop the images. Now, for a fresh...
...Through his antiwar research and with contacts that extended beyond the Iron Curtain, he simply knew too much about weapons development, psychic research and global conspiracies.

Kelley's repertorial method appears to involve repeating anything anyone ever said to her, no matter how unsubstantiated ("Now, I have no absolute proof of this love affair with the Queen..." says a source in a not untypical passage). She certainly doesn't break a sweat trying to make sense of her narrative, most of which reads like a clip job, despite her vaunted doggedness--illustrating, perhaps, the difficulty of dishing a family...
WASHINGTON: No matter how much the IRS scares you, it seems to scare its own employees even more. Proof of that came in day three of the Senate's taxman theater, as five long-time IRS agents testified from behind tall gray screens, their voices disguised by electronic warblers. All the cameras could see was the crescent of senators ? among them the thoughtful, blinking Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who let slip the only clue to a witness's identity when he said "sir." The tales of malfeasance flowed like wine: One witness had "been instructed by IRS management not to conduct...
