Beeri and her group are already trying to figure out how - and why - the combination therapies might curb plaque formation but leave the tangles alone. One theory is that the drugs normalize the communication network of insulin receptors, which go awry in the Alzheimer's brain, somehow restoring those pathways to as close to normal as possible, while clearing out the damaging plaques that form when the network malfunctions. "Our hypothesis is that with the combination therapy, the gene and protein expression of these Alzheimer's patients might be close to that of normal people who don't have Alzheimer...
...Freedom Brigade "The (Not So) Lunatic Fringe" by Nathan Thornburgh was a refreshingly honest and straightforward report on Libertarians [July 21]. I can take issue with only two points: First, that the Libertarian Party somehow sold some of its soul by selecting Congressman Bob Barr as its presidential candidate.

...Defense Richard Perle bluntly stated that a leakproof Astrodome against missiles ''is not a short- term proposition, and it may not even be possible in the long term.'' Gerold Yonas, the chief scientist for SDI, was equally emphatic. ''The idea that we are going to protect all the people somehow with a perfect defense'' is the ''wrong approach.'' Instead, he argued, the goal is to make the Kremlin unsure that it could launch a strike that would knock out America's capacity to retaliate. The immediate goal of SDI, Perle agreed, is ''not the defense of the nation...
