Scientists at the Rockefeller University in New York City announced they have discovered a gene that, when defective, triggers obesity in mice. The gene apparently works by helping the body regulate appetite and metabolism. Already the team has found a similar gene in humans. Experts hope the finding could someday lead to better medical treatments for obesity, although they caution that any practical applications will take at least a decade to develop...

Doctors may someday be able to give these people a blood test that measures their body's ability to manufacture serotonin. Those whose capacity is impaired would be considered at greatest risk of hurting themselves...

Pyongyang, economically moribund and starved for oil, then rattled its saber. Clinton caved...
