...past the first trimester, and he was very excited about a new procedure he had developed. This is what I wrote back then: "McMahon has developed his own method that he calls intrauterine cranial decompression. He arranges the fetus so that he can remove it feet first. Before the skull emerges, he 'collapses' it by inserting a three-millimeter instrument known as a cannula and extracting its fluid. By keeping the fetus intact, he says, he runs less risk of internal injury to the woman...
...pulpy heart the movie is a display of grotty special effects: legions of lesions on the zombies' faces and lots more. There's a dead woman a hospital orderly refers to as a "no-brainer ... her brain's scooped clean out of her skull."

He suffered a broken skull and would linger in a coma for nearly a week before dying on Feb. 12, leaving behind a wife and a 20-year...

Starting in 2001, researchers showed a series of motifs to 1,650 adults and children, many of them illiterate, in 11 different countries. The red background conveys danger; a skull and crossbones and a trefoil emanating rays warns of a threat to life; a running man tells observers to keep away. "We can't teach the world about radiation," says Carolyn MacKenzie, a radiation specialist who helped develop the new symbol. "But, for the price of a sticker, we can help save...
