Church officials say Sipe's figures are much too high, arguing that his findings are skewed because half the priests in his study were already in therapy. Most priests successfully channel their sexual feelings into love for their congregations, they contend. "This can provide a type of fulfillment, just as married men and women achieve fulfillment," says Father Peter Dora of the Atlanta archdiocese. But officials acknowledge that the Catholic hierarchy is increasingly concerned about sexually straying priests...
...product of a lengthy exercise in product development, even by Japanese standards. Toyota spent six years and more than $1 billion developing the auto, and built 450 prototypes -- three times the usual number -- to get the product right. The firm spent two years just deciding on the type of leather interior to use, and top management pondered for three years before approving the car's styling...
...dyslexia, which still sometimes causes him to puzzle for half an hour over a single word, has predisposed Horner against academic overcomplication and rigidity.

For Horner, what matters is getting into the field, finding more bones and listening to what his hands have to say about them. Early one morning on a roadside somewhere north of Jordan, he pulls on a backpack loaded with water bottles, tools, a can of sardines for lunch. He has about...
Experimental evidence indicates that neutrinos come in three varieties: the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino. Solar fusion gives off the electron type. Bahcall and Bethe speculate that electron neutrinos change into the muon or tau versions somewhere between the sun and Earth. "It's as if they started out sweet," marvels Bethe, who won the Nobel Prize in 1967 for explaining how nuclear fusion powers the sun, "and then suddenly turned salty." Thus the Baksan experiment may have come up empty- handed because it was not designed to detect muon or tau neutrinos...
...does not receive a bone-marrow transplant. Diagnosed with leukemia in 1988, the 12- year-old boy from Hoffman Estates, Ill., has searched in vain for a suitable donor. His father Tamas, his mother and other relatives have had their blood tested, but none has the right type. His doctors have consulted the National Marrow Donor Program of 180,000 potential donors, but the odds of unrelated people matching...
