...many businesses survive, never mind thrive, with a customer-satisfaction rate of 50%. Somehow that ratio doesn't do justice to the 68,756 patrons packing spiffy Gillette Stadium and the 5.5 million homes watching ESPN as quarterback Tom Brady leads the New England Patriots past the Buffalo Bills. Armed with a game plan designed by the league's best coach, Bill Belichick, Brady dismantles the Bills. No doubt Bills customers at home in western New York are disappointed. Two weeks earlier, it was the Pats turn to disappoint, courtesy of a whipping from the surging Pittsburgh Steelers. The real...
...involved heart patients undergoing bypass surgery. In half the patients, stem cells harvested from bone marrow in their hipbones were injected into their damaged heart tissue. The results were encouraging, but researchers don't know whether the stem cells transformed into new heart muscle, increased blood-vessel formation or somehow coaxed existing heart cells to become more active. Researchers are finding new sources of adult stem cells, including fat cells, skin, the brain and periodontal ligaments, the fibrous tendons that hold teeth in their sockets...
...prospect that terrified him. "I did not want to be responsible for the lives of other soldiers under me," he said during his court-martial trial last month. So Jenkins looked for a way out. He could confess his cowardice to superiors and accept the consequences or attempt somehow to flee. He chose the latter option.

But at about...
...most of those years, Jenkins was locked in a drab, hardscrabble existence, sustained only by hope that somehow, someday, he and his family could leave North Korea. The bleakness was tempered somewhat over the years, as Jenkins attained a standard of living better than that of most North Koreans. But it was still far below that of most other countries. The Jenkins house had no hot running water, the electricity frequently did not work, and the heating was so feeble that during winter family members wore five layers of clothing at home. By raising their own chickens and growing their...
...Luke were writing that believers had dated his Sonship to before his birth. Thus, if Mary was the eyewitness source for the Holy Spirit's direct involvement in Jesus' birth (and who else could it be?), her testimony was lost to Christians for half a century before Luke somehow picked it up. Weighing this, facts like Jesus' relatives' seeming ignorance of his messiahship in Mark and John and other clues, Brown concluded that both Matthew and Luke "regarded the virginal conception as historical, but the modern intensity about historicity was not theirs." Applying modern standards, he called the question "unresolved...
