...foreign bodies, and primitive immune cells called microglia that serve as biological garbage collectors valiantly and continuously try to clear them away. The result is a state of chronic inflammation that progressively injures nearby nerve cells. Among the powerful weapons the brain's immune system brings to bear are oxygen-free radicals, which is one reason many think that antioxidants like vitamin E may be helpful...
...April depths, they are still down for the year: Yahoo, off 50%; CMGI, down 70%; Priceline.com off 57%. Just last Friday, amid renewed analyst concerns about disappointing revenues, Amazon.com dropped 19% more to close at $34, off 70% from its December high.

...coldly chipper mom (Mary Tyler Moore) is speaking for herself when she complains, "I don't think people want to be with him." Conrad blames himself for his brother's death, even though the real murderers are the droves of psychopathic molecules composed of two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. He does quit the swim team, though it's too little, too late...
Vitamin E is another common memory nostrum, popular because it is an antioxidant, able to gather up and neutralize cell-damaging chemicals known as free radicals, a highly reactive form of oxygen that is a normal byproduct of metabolism. Like ginkgo, vitamin E has been tested mostly on Alzheimer's patients and has been shown to slow down the advance of the disease as much as seven months--not much for a condition that takes years to do its brain-ravaging work, but progress nonetheless. "There is a lot of evidence that there's oxidative damage in the brain both...
...soldiers are targeted by enemy Scuds during the conflict, martial lightning bolts--actually oxygen-iodine lasers--will blow the missiles from the sky before they ever get close to their targets. The Air Force wants to outfit a fleet of 747s with lasers. These "Warbirds" could explode enemy missiles shortly after launch, well before they could unleash their batches of warheads on American soldiers or local civilians. Computers on the plane will bend the laser's "rubber mirror" hundreds of times a second to keep the beam fixed on the missile's skin for the three to five seconds needed...
