...this sounds incredibly logical, but it has also led researchers to talk about their results earlier and earlier. It used to be that only wild horses would get a scientist to report on Phase I of a drug trial - the first study of a drug in human patients, which usually involve a handful of the sickest patients who have not responded to standard treatments. The purpose of Phase I studies is to establish what's known as the maximum tolerated dose - that is, the dose at which the drug then becomes too toxic and dangerous to take. But because...

Recent studies in the U.S., Finland and China showed that many of those at risk of developing diabetes can bring their blood sugar down to normal levels without medication, by changing their diet and becoming more physically active. In the U.S. trial, patients who made these changes reduced their risk of developing diabetes nearly 60%.

Though his job kept him plenty busy, he was a fixture on the little league sidelines, juggling depositions and trial preparation, batting orders and pitching rotations. Rather than choose between his children, he coached all three, spring and autumn, for the better part of a decade. Fueled only by the lousy hot dogs available on-site, he logged far more hours at the local ball field—which, as of this...
