...Ford parts plant - with a picturesque town square. The backdrop was a City Hall that could have been shipped in from Central Properties (with a church off the right), and organizers rounded up some 10,000 people who sweated, and in some cases fainted, in the steamy midwestern heat. Although it's the biggest crowd Gore has had in days, his staff has to wonder: Were they here for Al, or for Elvis...
Renova's success inspired something of a rush on vitamin A. But instead of using tretinoin--which would trigger intense FDA scrutiny, not to mention a patent-infringement lawsuit--most over-the-counter skin products contain other forms of vitamin A. Although these compounds, technically known as esters, are not biologically active, the theory is that certain enzymes in the skin would convert at least some of them into tretinoin...
Like vitamin A, vitamin E is found in several forms, with alpha-tocopherol being the most biologically active. Because alpha-tocopherol isn't terribly stable, however, most cosmeceuticals contain derivatives. Although some of these compounds are converted to the active form in the skin, it's unclear whether they have an effect. Even if you find a cream with alpha-tocopherol in it, there's no definitive word on how strong it should be, according to Dr. Karen Burke, a dermatologist who consults for L'Oreal's Helena Rubinstein division. However, Burke's experiments with mice suggest that vitamin...
...absence of a strategy. Besides maintaining U.N. sanctions in the face of growing concern in the Gulf War alliance that these have no positive effect, the U.S. and Britain remain militarily engaged against Iraq by policing the "no-fly" zones they have declared in northern and southern Iraq. Although these zones aren't recognized by the United Nations, allied planes bomb Iraqi air defenses at the first hint that ground radar is locking on, supposedly to help keep Saddam on the defensive so that he can be overthrown. But while nobody's expecting that to happen any time soon...
...Information is sketchy about the fate of the Kursk: Although Moscow insists that the vessel's two nuclear reactors hadn't failed, they've clearly been shut off, leaving the vessel unable to generate the ballast to surface. The use of the world collision, of course, begs the question of what exactly the Kursk is supposed to have struck. The Barents Sea's strategic location makes it one of the world's most heavily trafficked submarine routes, but there's no indication thus far that the stricken vessel was hit by another...
