Everyone passed except the asthmatic (who gets to run again) and the guy with the heart condition (he's gone, after - he says - his heart almost exploded at one third of a mile).

...your story on the Achieva college Prep Centers [EDUCATION, Nov. 1]: I would like to correct a misconception about Silver Creek High School.

Now there may be a less traumatic alternative. A study shows that a "virtual colonoscopy"--basically, a fancy CAT scan--is nearly as accurate (82%) as the real thing in detecting tiny precancerous polyps. The procedure zaps patients with radiation equivalent to about five chest X rays, but it's noninvasive, requires no sedation...
