State television has refused to broadcast her standing on the podium to receive her prize, but that has allowed Seddigh--in the manner of 127--to protect her radical chic.

(He had trucked them to Germany from Russia.) Zaslavsky hopes to produce the first American-grown beluga sturgeon and caviar, in 36 tanks on the 1,700-acre farm of his partner Gene Evans just outside Pierson, Fla. To fish farmers, beluga is the Holy Grail: a species...
...think the targeting of different groups of women deserves attention and that the health effects of design changes needs future research,” said Carpenter. “Public-health agencies need to look at these when designing prevention policies to protect women...
