In France, there has been an upsurge in youth and amateur squads way beyond French rugby's native, largely rural stronghold in the southwest, where its presence had long been a sign of English influence - France's new generation of top-level players is being drawn from youth squads in cities farther north. And, although less has been made of it than during France's victorious 1998 soccer World Cup campaign, the fact that...

...trial in Würzburg is now under way in Amsterdam, and another, slated to begin in mid-October, is currently awaiting final approval by the ethics committee at the University Hospital in Tübingen, Germany. There, in the renowned old research institution in the German southwest, neuro-oncologist Dr. Johannes Rieger wants to enroll patients with glioblastoma and astrocytoma, aggressive brain cancers for which there are hardly any sustainable therapies. Cell culture and animal experiments suggest that these tumors should respond particularly well to low-carb, high-fat diets. And, usually, these patients are physically sound, since...
