...1960s when a brand-new ranch house with a one-car garage was all a suburbanite could hope for. The more affluent left it behind over the years for wealthier counties like Douglas, which is where Eng's Republican opponent has set up his headquarters. To get to Mike Coffman's office in Highlands Ranch, you have to drive past mile after mile of McMansion developments with names like Berkshire Residences and soon-to-be-opened box stores that still have the plastic wrap on. In the late 1980s, the area was home to just a few hundred residents; today...
...would be linked cooperatively by public and private owners into a wildlife range for 300,000 buffalo, deer, antelope and elk. His figures suggested that on the average, the 3,000 people living there would make more tending to tourists and hunters than from ranching and farming. Writer Douglas Coffman, who helped Scott, saw even more: a chance to recapture a bit of the original American heart, something brave and wild.

In his videotaped chat with the mother, Lukens seemed to suggest that he might arrange a Government job for her. Though the FBI says there is no evidence that the lawmaker was offering Coffman a bribe in exchange for her silence, the Franklin County prosecutor is considering whether to file criminal charges against the Congressman. Lukens, who has been divorced since 1983, refused to comment...
...free lunch is over quickly. While the B cells are being activated, other helper T cells have been creating an army of killer T cells. These killers recognize the flu-ridden cells because, like macrophages, infected cells display a bit of viral antigen on their outer membranes. Says Coffman: "For many viral infections, the most important response is the killer T cell. Viruses live inside cells, so it's essential to kill not only the viruses themselves but those cells that are infected with the virus...
