...remove unwanted hair have grown rapidly in popularity since being approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1995, but many doctors still consider them experimental. Lasers zap the hair follicle underneath the skin, thus retarding future growth. Whether lasers can remove hair permanently, however, is still an open question. A 1998 report from Harvard, where Dr. Rox Anderson has patented a popular hair-removal laser, showed it can last six months to two years. Results for laser hair removal in general seem to vary widely, often depending on the patient's complexion: those with dark hair and light skin...
Encouraged, Nichols' scientists began testing the compound, designated FGN-1, on lab animals. It seemed effective against several types of cancers--breast, lung and bladder--but the animals lost weight. That raised a question: Was it the drug or the weight loss that was providing the anti-cancer action? When the scientists repeated the experiments at lower doses, the animals improved without losing weight. "We got a beautiful dose response," says Pamukcu...
Death is quantifiable, as the data sadly show. What can't be measured so easily is the benefit of closeness, both for the baby and the parent. There is no question that parents and their babies should have as much intimate contact as possible. The problem is how to get it.

...MISTY BERNALL went ahead with the book even though the Jefferson County sheriff's office and the mother of another victim advised them that DYLAN KLEBOLD or ERIC HARRIS may not have asked Cassie if she believed in God just before she was fatally shot last April 20. The question may have been put instead to VALEEN SCHNURR, 18, who lay wounded under another table. She replied yes, she says. As the gunman reloaded, he asked, "Why?" "Because I do believe, and my mom and dad taught me to." The gunman then walked away. Witnesses may have confused Cassie...
...your answer to that question is, "Are you kidding?" then Fight Club is not for you, though it must be said that early on, it funnily realizes the satirical possibilities of 12-stepping your way through life. The film remains strong when Edward Norton's Narrator meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) on an airplane. He's everything Norton isn't--a bruising truth teller with a taste for urban anarchism. He's the kind of guy who splices pornographic flash cuts into family movies when he works as a projectionist, who pees in the soup when he works...
