...What is pretty spectacular, on the other hand, are the seemingly boundless medical possibilities inherent in this discovery. If a cancer specialist can use this map to accelerate her search for the genetic anomaly that leads to breast cancer, we might find a cure - or a means of prevention. And if the root of a chronic illness lies buried in our DNA, the genome map could eventually lead us to a usable therapy. Of course, despite all this tantalizing promise, treatments, not to mention cures, are years, possibly decades away. Scientists involved in the mapping stress that while the latest...
...nose. He has the flushed skin, overbright eyes and careful breathing of the tubercular. He is alone, and it is chilly within the crumbling mud walls of his hut at Msinga Top, a windswept outcrop high above the Tugela River in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province. The spectacular view of hills and veld would gladden a well man, but the 22-year-old we will call Fundisi Khumalo, though he does not know it, has AIDS, and his eyes seem to focus inward on his simple fear...

The suit Coco Chanel created so many years ago came out looking entirely new, with jackets tucked into skirts and belts slung low on the waist.

Tuxedoes, a trench coat, jeans, corsets were all back with a new twist?a panel removed here, delicate beading added there...
Some may argue that solitary confinement is preferable to seven men packed into a 34-ft. RV, two twin beds in the back, 35 guns and ammo strewn about; the coarse companionship of murderers, rapists and the beater of a small child. But the Connally Seven had chosen a spectacular hideaway after one of them allegedly shot a policeman 11 times in Irving, Texas. The RV site was perched high above Woodland Park, with a postcard view of the northeast face of Pikes Peak fading and reappearing behind blowing snow and scuttling clouds. The fugitives had been there for three...
