...overwhelmingly Christian and conservative small town less than an hour's drive north of Chattanooga, Dayton landed the Scopes trial in 1925 after the American Civil Liberties Union announced a search for a teacher willing to challenge a state law prohibiting the teaching of evolution. Town leaders, eager to boost the local economy with the media attention a trial would bring, came up with a 24-year-old science teacher named John Thomas Scopes, who was willing to teach Darwinist theory instead of creationism...
Early each morning, he mounts his modified tricycle cart, pedaling through the streets of the seaside district of Barranco in search of treasures. He forgoes a shrill horn for his booming voice, shouting for glass, paper or used items that he can resell. "You have to be considerate and not make a mess. If you cause trouble, the police will take your cart, and then you're stuck," he says.

Police still have some of the tainted Tylenol capsules from the original killings and are hopeful some DNA can be recovered from the pills for testing...
...available at elite hospitals. The findings, published in the journal Nature Materials last month, seek to combat those tumors that fool the immune system’s normal process of identifying dangerous substances. Normally, a particular type of immune cell—called a dendritic cell—will search the body for foreign matter, targeting it for destruction by T cells, another component of the immune system. But some tumors manage to escape detection, enabling them to grow uncontrollably, said Nathaniel D. Huebsch, one of the study’s authors. “The idea with a cancer...
