...best alternatives could be the most legally vulnerable. Take Aimster, the Napster clone that relies on AOL's ever popular instant-messaging software. Download it (from Aimster.com) and you'll get an unseen extra layer to your buddy list, called a Buddyizer. This means that theoretically you can trade your MP3s with some 60 million "buddies." Hey, presto: an instant Napster-size network. As a bonus, Aimster currently searches Napster as well. "People already have thousands of MP3 files on AOL. All we did was add a search function," says Johnny Deep (his real name), 43, a software engineer...
...than the defective alpha-synuclein gene, and in places like China, with high rates of early-onset Parkinson's, it may play a role in a significant number of cases. Just last October, researchers at Duke University Medical Center went a step further, reporting their discovery of a previously unseen mutation on the parkin gene that appears to link it to late-onset forms of the disease as well. "Once we figure out how that gene functions," says neurology professor Ira Shoulson of the University of Rochester Medical Center, "we could perhaps disrupt it pharmacologically...

With petroleum selling in the past few weeks for nearly $35, close to a 10-year high, talk of a possible oil shock--a threat unseen since the 1990 Gulf War--is suddenly gaining respectability. And prices could go higher still if dictator Saddam Hussein suddenly shuts off Iraq's flow of crude, which the victorious West has allowed to flow into Western markets since 1996. Or if the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries makes good on threats to rein in crude-oil supplies in 2001. The Clinton...
