...medical practice is determined, and the only kind of trial that gives scientists confidence that other variables are not confounding their results. In the new study, for example, the authors note that the women eating the highest amounts of soy were also more likely to have received chemotherapy to treat their disease and to eat vegetables and exercise regularly - all factors that may contribute to lower breast-cancer risk. Shu and her colleagues adjusted for these variables, but, says Norton, "with any observational study, you don't know what else is going...
...raid revealed a brutal paradox. Large-scale crackdowns like this one are rare precisely because the dogfighting business mistreats so many dogs. Busting a breeder means taking custody of the dogs, yet no police department or sheriff's office has the resources to kennel, treat and attempt to rehabilitate dozens, let alone hundreds, of abused animals. Indeed, this raid could not have happened without the extraordinary cooperation of the Humane Society of Missouri. Supported by animal-protection agencies and volunteers from across the country, the society equipped an empty warehouse with hundreds of wire pens to hold the victims, recruited...

Sita may be the model for the long-suffering women of Indian TV and film, but novelist Ranga Rao argues that she also influences the strong-minded females in the beloved stories of R.K. Narayan...
...Finance Minister. Barbara Hogan - who as Health Minister ended years of South Africa's attachment to what the U.N. called the "lunatic fringe" of the AIDS world - took Public Enterprise. Zuma fired Hogan's predecessor at health, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, who recommended beetroot, garlic, lemon juice and potatoes to treat HIV and AIDS, and former police chief Jackie Selebi, who is charged with corruption...
