...maybe it wasn't so odd that during his second-to-last night in the White House, Clinton was worried about how Bush would react to the timing of independent counsel Robert Ray's announcement of a Lewinsky settlement. Sure, Clinton had been bouncing around the country like Ricky Martin for two weeks, hogging the spotlight, but a natural-born pol like Bush could see that was fair game. Clinton turned to TV producer/director Thomason--an old friend who had got muddied in Travelgate and who with his wife Linda had spent the last Thanksgiving, the last Christmas...
...should parents and pediatricians react to the reports? Medical common sense should prevail, says pediatric radiologist Dr. Michael DiPietro of the C. S. Mott Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "If alarm prevents people from having tests done that really need to be done, then the chances of harm from that are much greater than the chances of harm from the radiation. The concerns raised by this study should highlight, however, the need for these tests being ordered appropriately, done correctly and interpreted correctly in order to get the maximum information from the minimum...
...allowed it, I don't think Kostunica would survive politically. Besides, I don't think Milosevic would find a country that would risk taking him in.

Some officials seemed eager for reform; others were enchanted by the possibility of a crackdown. How would they react? When? When tanks finally rolled through Tiananmen on the night of June 4, the world saw how the cards had been played. But the decisions that led to the crackdown were, and have remained, totally opaque...
...example, his researchers are concentrating on monoclonal antibodies, a type of biological "smart bomb" that targets cancer cells and leaves normal cells alone. Like all antibodies, these man-made cancer missiles seek out particular receptors--molecules on the cancer cell's surface that help the cell recognize and react to nearby enzymes and proteins. Almost a dozen such drugs are already on the market, including one called Herceptin. It zeroes in on the HER-2/neu receptor that sits on the surface of some breast-cancer cells, blocking the binding of growth factors. For the 30% of tumors involving...
