...aspirin every other day dramatically reduced the risk of an initial heart attack by 47%. Almost simultaneously, another study published in the British Medical Journal found that aspirin made little difference in thwarting heart trouble. Nonetheless, insisted Charles Hennekens, chief investigator in the U.S. trial and himself a test subject, "our study provides the first conclusive evidence that aspirin will reduce the risk of fatal and nonfatal heart attacks in otherwise healthy...
...alleged evidence was unveiled last week by Yugoslav Historian Dusan Plenca, 63, who has spent more than 40 years studying the World War II campaigns in his country and has published seven books on the subject. Says he: "As far as I am concerned, Kurt Waldheim's role on Mount Kozara has been proved." Plenca has turned over his Waldheim documents to Yugoslav Journalist Danko Vasovic, who plans to publish them in the spring. But Vasovic apparently could not wait to spread the news. Last week he sold the publication rights for the controversial telegram and other materials...
...uncomfortable. Live interviews, particularly on the Evening News, are unpredictable. A taped interview allows for editing and shaping; a live interview gives the subject a chance to manipulate the conversation. The subject can filibuster, deftly evading a probing question.

Executive Producer Tom Bettag saw three options: run the five-minute intro on its own, kill the story or accede to Bush's conditions. Finally CBS agreed to do the interview live, and warned Bush's staff that Rather's questions...
...Dole: a taciturn quality, almost like the lone gunfighters of the Old West. Aboard his campaign plane, if Dole does not like a reporter's question he will just stare stonily as if he did not hear it, letting the silence linger awkwardly until someone else changes the subject. These days Dole can at least joke about his continuing inability to delegate authority and accede gracefully to the advice of others, even his wife Elizabeth. Despite the success of Dole's off-the-cuff improvisations, this go-it-alone style is a worrisome sign of how he would approach...
Enthralled by physics, Stephen concentrated in the subject at Oxford's University College, but did not distinguish himself. He partied, served as coxswain for the second-string crew and studied only an hour or so a day. Moving on to Cambridge for graduate work in relativity, he found the going rough, partly because of some puzzling physical problems; he stumbled frequently and seemed to be getting clumsy...
