...Marshall and J. Robin Warren as far back as 1997-at least in Western Australia, where the two scientists are local heroes, and where I was once a medical writer for the local newspaper in Perth, my hometown. As a joke, Marshall, a gastroenterologist, and Warren, a now-retired pathologist, had even taken to sharing a beer down by the Swan River in Perth every year when the Nobel for medicine was announced...
When Dr. Greg Henderson, a pathologist turned field medic, arrived at the Convention Center on Friday, he was the only doctor for 10,000 people.

Most spoke with an uncanny approximation of an Indiana accent...
...acting on a tip, dug a single hole in a new earthen dam on Old Jolly Farm six miles from Philadelphia and uncovered the three bodies. Each man had been shot to death with a .38-caliber weapon; Chaney had been beaten so horribly that a pathologist who performed an autopsy said he had never seen such injuries except in a highspeed auto accident or a plane crash...
