Docs say Schiavo videotapes can mislead
Mar 26 2005 10:23PM (CT)
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) - They say film doesn't lie, but does that mean it tells the truth?

And often they ask: How could anyone conclude but that she is aware of her surroundings?

Mar 26 2005 3:15PM (CT)
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - It's the most common major cancer in America, even though it affects only one sex. Lifetime odds of getting it are 1 in 6. Testing for it is controversial, and treating it robs many of a body part that's important to their sexuality. This isn't breast cancer, a disease tattooed into the American psyche.

Study: Pneumonia vaccine could save lives
Mar 26 2005 9:32AM (CT)
LONDON (AP) - New research has confirmed that an experimental pneumonia vaccine specially formulated for the developing world could save the lives of children in Africa. However, the vaccine is unlikely to have any future because its manufacturer, Collegeville, Pa.-based Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, has decided instead to pursue a more broadly protective vaccine targeting 13 strains of the pneumonia bug.
