Born Nov. 9, 1934, in the provincial town of Boras in southwest Sweden, Carlsson grew up in modest circumstances. The son of a seamstress and coffee-factory worker, he graduated from a commercial high school and went on to earn a degree in political science at the University of Lund in 1958. With Palme, Carlsson became a political protégé of Prime Minister Tage Erlander, the architect of the Swedish welfare state. His first major post was as Minister of Education in the government formed by Prime Minister Palme in 1969. Carlsson served Palme until his death, acting...
...logic lapses is the same. ?There?s a ?why? in this too big to go down on any report,? the book?s detective says. ?It seems to slip away each time you think you?ve got it pinned down.? In the baronial study, the girl, her lover (John Lund), the cop (William Demarest) and a few businessmen all wait for the witching hour. Then [SPOILER] a mysterious figure moves the minute hand on the grandfather clock ahead, and when that clock chimes 11 the girl and her protectors (who never look at their own watches) think all peril is over...
Most Latin American film-makers can't stand slick Hollywood formulas. But two of the best Latin movies now playing in the U.S. and Europe benefit from at least one Tinseltown trick: good timing. Brazilian co-directors Fernando Meirelles and K?tia Lund's City of God, the brutally realistic saga of a Rio de Janeiro favela, or slum, got a big publicity boost after it opened last summer, when real drug gangs swept out of Rio's favelas and briefly shut down posh neighborhoods like Copacabana. And Mexican director Carlos Carrera's The Crime of Father Amaro, the taboo-busting...
This is the largest biological experiment in the history of the world," shouts Leif Salford, an unusually animated neurosurgeon at Lund University, in Sweden. Salford's not talking about his own work. He's talking about the 1.3 billion people around the world who regularly chat away on their mobile phones, "freely pressing radiological devices to their brains." Salford's own research involves much smaller samples - of mice, not men - but it is raising big questions about the safety of human mobile-phone use. In a paper that will be published in April by the U.S. journal of the National...
...genes, signal pathways and other factors that promote or inhibit cell development. And they are still debating the best way to expand the process so that millions of patients can be treated with stem cells. Transplantation poses its own problems. Patrik Brundin, a professor of neuroscience at Sweden's Lund University, started transplanting embryonic tissue in the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease back in 1987 with techniques similar to those that will be used with stem cells. "Fifteen years after starting clinical trials we still don't have a ready therapy," Brundin said. "To develop anything like...
