ALS strikes 5,000 Americans each year. The disease involves the progressive death of motor neurons, the nerve cells that transmit impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles. As the condition advances, sufferers lose the ability to speak, swallow or breathe. Though a few survive 20 years or more (as the British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has), most die within five years. By examining tissue from 18 ALS families, a team led by Dr....
So, the apprentices charged, she was asking for it when one of them, Agostino Tassi, raped her in her bedroom. Artemisia, who was 18, hardly saw it that way, and her father had Tassi prosecuted in a Roman court. While proving her case, she had to endure judicial torture (literally, she was subjected to the thumbscrew) - and a public gynecological examination. Tassi was finally convicted, and Artemisia moved to Florence, where she began exorcising her personal demons with artistic fury....

A radioman kept sweeping up the chips after each explosion....

I was sitting, trying to write letters with the IV in my left arm. I was in the back room of my hematologist’s office: with its desk, examining table and worn back issues of magazines, where the “chemo” was blessed and administered. I waited as the initial fluids infused, feeling the room-temperature solution tingle up to my shoulder as it mixed with my body-temperature blood. The day was gray, with snow forecast....

The high point was Pat Buchanan’s speech, the only Republican oratorical effort chock full o’ nifty ideas. Religious warfare, for example.

Cultural cleansing, there’s another fab proposal. Why should the Bosnians have all the fun?...
