Then, something appropriately eerie happened to Stine. He didn't exactly disappear or, as a Goosebumps book might put it, Vanish without a trace! (It's hard to be invisible when there are more than 300 million copies of your books in print.) But he did all of a sudden turn pretty ectoplasmic, a ghost of best sellers past, bumping around in the publishing basement, listening to the patter of tiny feet as his millions of former readers rushed to buy the latest Harry Potter...
...neck, they did what I had waited for them to do: They did not fluster and flap up splashily in the way that, say, ducks do when disturbed; rather, they did the loon thing - the magic act.

Inside the neurogeneticists' community there is more argument than consensus over the genes involved in mental health. Diagnosis of psychiatric illness is notoriously subjective and genetic heterogeneity is the rule, not the exception, even when diagnosis is more certain. In order to trace inheritance patterns neuroscientists focus on a genetic isolate population whose members suffer from a disorder with unusually high frequency. My lab's investigation of BPAD used a genetic isolate from the Old Order Amish in Lancaster County, Penn. Not only were we able to find several families with expression rates of BPAD as high as 20 percent...
Even if a reliable missile defense is feasible, is it necessary? Releasing smallpox in a major city could also kill millions, and it would be difficult to trace the attacker. A missile-defense shield will provide Americans with a false sense of security. RUSSELL ROBERSON North Little Rock...
...Idris's complaint notes that U.S. officials steadily backed away from some of the allegations about the factory and its owner made in the weeks following the strike, eventually basing their justification for the attack primarily on the claim that a soil sample collected near the plant contained traces of EMPTA, a chemical compound used in the manufacture of VX nerve gas. That's why Idris's lawyers commissioned research institutes in Boston and the Netherlands to independently examine samples taken from the ruins of the plant, which experts agree would likely still contain substantial evidence of chemical weapons agents...
