...drug-to-drug interactions with Zoloft," says Dr. Allan Jaffe, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., who wrote an editorial that accompanied the JAMA report. In addition, he says, "the patients did not receive the antidepressant until one month after their heart attack, so it is unclear how safe it is immediately afterwards." One thing is sure: if you have recently had a heart attack and are depressed, you are not alone. At least now there's an antidepressant that may be safe for your ailing heart...
...planet could feed 10 billion people on just half the crop land in use today. Of course it's possible that some genetically modified foods may carry health risks to humans (although none have so far been proved in foods that have been brought to market), and it's unclear whether agricultural companies will be able to control where their altered-gene products end up. But what's needed now are not crop tramplers and lab burners but powerful lobbyists able to negotiate for more effective safeguards and a greater humanitarian use of the technology...
...identity of the escapee has not been disclosed; it's also unclear how the smuggled phone book ended up in Japan. But one thing is certain about the 373-page, dog-eared volume with 50,000 names and numbers, a copy of which was obtained by TIME: since its arrival in Japan some five weeks ago, it has been treated by North Korea watchers as a combination of the Rosetta Stone and Enigma, the machine used by the Nazis to encode messages during World War II.

...Nile virus has been found in birds and mosquitoes in more than 35 states. Yes, it seems likely to reach the West Coast by the end of the year. And yes, it seems to be striking younger people than it did three years ago; for reasons that are still unclear, the youngest fatality this year was 53, as opposed to 68 in 1999. But the chances of getting infected are still pretty slim, and most people who get sick will develop mild flu-like symptoms. In only a rare few will the infection lead to encephalitis, a potentially deadly inflammation...
...their peers via the Internet. The service will suspend electronic versions of the exam in the three countries, instead giving paper-based tests just twice a year. Officials became suspicious after colleges complained that incoming students' impressive scores were sometimes belied by their lousy English. It's unclear how many were involved, but in China alone the average verbal score rose by more than 14% this year compared with last year, a gain officials say can only be explained by mass cheating. Officials can't tell who broke the rules, so all individual scores will stand. Who says cheaters never...
