Gene therapy, one of the most recent, complex and promising medical technologies, may just have moved theory closer to practice, thanks to a trail-blazing initiative at the Harvard Medical School...
...remarkably well-choreographed departure, made more astonishing by the rich trail of video and Internet information the victims left behind. But the largest mass suicide in U.S. history has blasted the doors wide open onto a considerably less tidy world--a dense and jumbled universe of UFOs and extraterrestrials careening smack into unusual astronomical happenings, apocalyptic Christian heresies and end-is-nigh paranoia.

Friends say there's only one other thing he wants: Bill Gates' scalp...
