Democratic congressional candidates were raking in money last year. Not so the Democratic National Committee. The D.N.C.'s year-end finance report at the end of this month will chart about $40 million in donations in 1999--well below the $48 million it rang into its coffers four years earlier.

A special Doppler ultrasound placed over a mother's belly was shown to be 100% effective in detecting moderate to severe fetal anemia. That sure beats today's invasive screening procedures like cordocentesis, in which a blood sample is taken from the umbilical cord, with an attendant risk...

Just about all types of garbage--paper, plastics, food--emit the toxic pollutants. And toxic they are; even tiny amounts of dioxins and related burning by-products may increase cancer risk...
