...center for cardiovascular-disease prevention, is likely to be the talk of the annual meeting of the American Heart Association this week in Chicago. Not only does it provide the strongest evidence to date that inflammation plays a key role in heart disease, but it also supports the growing suspicion among medical researchers that inflammation is a major culprit behind a wide range of disorders, including cancer...

The four divisions: border and transportation security; emergency preparedness and response; countermeasures for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attacks; and a new intelligence clearinghouse.
