Even more important, it could tell some of the secrets of the source of earth's magnetism, and of the thickness of the radiation...

Last year Americans paid an estimated $700 million for antibiotics, all of them unknown to the public 15 years ago, but now accountable for more than half of all prescription sales. To the Federal Trade Commission, this inspiring success story is flawed...
