...Stiller in light comic banter, giving a black-box theater feel to the enormous Kennedy Center opera house, followed by Martin Scorsese recounting DeNiro's antics and Meryl Streep speaking about how he inspired her work. For Mel Brooks, a musical medley highlighted scenes from The Producers, Young Frankenstein and more, including a memorable moment with Jack Black leading a rendition of "Men in Tights." A spectacular jam session onstage with Dave Brubeck's four sons closed out a hoppin' "Blue Rondo A La Turk" - which his sons kept a secret from their father until the show, according...

Over the past few years, several aid organizations and governments--including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the U.S. Agency for International Development--have begun distributing zinc supplements to villagers in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. A number of other groups are working with governments in Africa to introduce zinc, which comes both in tablet form and as a syrup. In Mali, Save the Children U.S. used $680,000 from a 2007 American Idol charity concert to distribute zinc tablets to a handful of villages...

The vaccine, which in trials in Latin America, Europe and the U.S. cut rotavirus infections 85%, could someday be part of routine vaccination programs for children, along with those for polio, measles and other diseases...

A total of 14 men have been charged in the case...
...breast-cancer recommendations, that is proving to be a difficult reality for Americans to accept. But the task force's mammography advice probably marks the leading edge of similar recommendations to come. Already, new guidelines on Pap smear screening for cervical cancer have delayed the age at which young women should begin regular testing and reduced the frequency of testing in older women. Doctors are also questioning the usefulness of prostate-cancer screening among otherwise healthy middle-aged men, as studies begin to show that the test, which has many risks, may not necessarily lead to fewer deaths from...
