Nineteen minutes into the second period, Du gave the Crimson another lead, cashing in on the power play from the close left circle and celebrating the 3-2 score with a fist pump. Princeton clawed its way back into the game yet again, this time five minutes into the third—“Kind of frustrating,” Pelle said later, that “every time we score, they score”—but Du?...

Saucier talked to Baylor College of Medicine physicians, and for almost two decades NASA and DeBakey worked on a mini ventricular device. The size of a pink beveled eraser, it helps adults and children survive for up to two years while awaiting a transplant...

The QDR, released every four years, guides annual spending decisions by venturing how the U.S. military is likely to be waging war in years to come. But, defense officials say, it continues to pump billions of dollars into weapons of dubious utility in the war on terror-like the Army's $161 billion Future Combat Systems. The Army says this welter of weapons-tanks and helicopters, both manned and unmanned, all bound together with computer data links-will let soldiers "move, shoot and communicate better...
