Attempting to use chemical and biological weapons is one thing; successfully delivering them is another. Iraq will probably tip short-range missiles and artillery shells with deadly substances and lob them against invading U.S. forces. But American front-line troops, inoculated and wearing heavy protective gear, will probably overrun Iraqi positions quickly, thus limiting the potential for large casualties. The Iraqis may instead try to target less protected U.S. bases and Israeli cities with longer-range missiles, but that may not work any better. Military experts say Iraq's warheads are not advanced enough to disseminate their payload before impact...
...made good on Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz's claim that the Iraqis had infiltrated the weapons inspection teams. He charged that Saddam is intimidating scientists and replacing them with imposters when the U.N. teams come knocking.

Forty percent, however, still leaves 60% suffering, and researchers hope to tip that balance the other way. At Mt. Sinai, Siever is looking deeper into what makes people neurologically susceptible to PDs, studying the structure and function of the brain itself in order to determine which areas misfire in the course of the disorders as well as the role played by such neurotransmitters as serotonin and dopamine. Others are studying such possible causes as high levels of stress hormones in the womb or even poor nutrition during brain development. Understanding the biochemistry should make it easier to develop medications...
...observations in the Platters' book, which reflect the sometimes tortuous route they took in their tastings. But generally the Platters were delighted to find a passionate wine revival under way, from the deserts of North Africa to the most southerly vineyards in Africa, near Cape Agulhas at the tip of the continent. The best among their discoveries included the Chardonnay Barrique of Morocco ("the finest white wine in North Africa"), Algeria's Domaine Ouzeva 96 (cabernet sauvigon) from Medea ("an area too dangerous to visit"), the Moelleux (chenin blanc) from Réunion, and Richard Leakey's Kenyan Ol Choro...
