...terror of terrorism is what you don't know. You can listen all you want to warnings to be vigilant. Cops can scan crowds; dogs can sniff luggage; border crossings can be tightened; you can report parcels left unattended. But if--when--it comes, you won't be warned. "We're not confident we can stop it," admits an Administration official...

...those interested in facing mortality head-on, there are few better routes to grisly self-discovery than medical school. Unfortunately, according to a report in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, at least one commonly-used teaching technique may compromise young doctors' ability to see their patients as human beings. For many years, interns and residents have practiced a critical - some say unnecessarily invasive - procedure on patients who have failed to respond to 20 minutes of resuscitation and who are moments from clinical death. It's then that new doctors, who often find themselves under pressure to quickly deliver...

...strike a balance between the need to teach residents and interns the procedures they need to know to save people's lives with the need to provide patients with unwavering comfort of care, right to life, empathy and respect." These two positions are neatly represented in Thursday's report; of 234 residents and interns interviewed, two-thirds felt the tube-threading procedure should not be performed.

What's better for a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder--behavior therapy or medications like Ritalin? The answer is, well, complicated. A new report shows medication alone or combined with therapy is decidedly more effective than therapy alone in reducing overt symptoms of adhd--the off-the-wall jumpiness and inattentiveness that exhausted parents know all too well. But combining drugs with behavior therapy seems to benefit kids in ways that drugs alone don't--like enabling them to make friends more easily and even score higher on achievement tests...

...USDA ready for an Oprah-style trial, deep in the cattle-raising heart of Texas? They'd better be. According to a recent Associated Press report, head honchos at the Agriculture Department want to soften long-standing restrictions on soy as a meat replacement. The agency proposed using soy as an alternative to some of the meats in school lunch menus. American school refectories, which depend heavily on pork, poultry and beef, have been hard-pressed to meet government limits for fat content in lunches, even as school-age children gain weight at a record pace. Predictably, ranchers, chicken...
