Today biomedical scientists are on the trail of deeper mysteries. It has been known for some time that sharks have a low incidence of disease in general and extremely low rates of cancer. Known carcinogens injected into sharks by researchers don't trigger malignancies; they don't even cause the sorts of genetic damage that leads to tumors in other animals...
...penultimate scenes of the drama, before he finally put his overused .40-cal. revolver in his mouth and pulled the trigger, were rather desultory. Right after the murder of Gianni Versace on July 15, Cunanan broke into a 25-ft. sailboat docked in Miami Beach, sneaking in not only a bag of pita bread to eat but also newspapers to read, including Italy's Corriere della Sera. Cunanan, never averse to attention, could have had no doubt he was known all over the world--and wanted in the worst of ways...

The alleged dealer in prescription drugs is said to have become addicted first to crack, then to methamphetamines, which can produce extremely violent behavior in some users. Or was it AIDS rage that caused him to run amuck? The tabloid Star claims to have retrieved a backpack belonging to Cunanan that contains an empty envelope from the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group, a firm that provides HIV testing. As for Cunanan's actual HIV status, that remains for the coroner's office to disclose. Florida law imposes strict privacy rules even...

The attacker with the sawed-off shotgun took aim at Nicole's face. The trigger jammed, so the guy with the .22 fired two shots, one into Kaiser's head and another in Nicole's face...
Maybe so, but friends and foes alike were quick to point out that her figures are anything but solid. The original trigger for Browner's proposal was a lawsuit brought by the American Lung Association. The suit accused the EPA of ignoring new scientific evidence showing that small particles in the air--bits of matter much tinier than the diameter of a human hair--are especially harmful to health. A federal judge ordered the agency to look at the evidence and, if the data warranted it, come up with new regulations...
