June 14Taiwan's death toll: four times higher than official count?

Jun. 9, 2003. 10:23 PM U.S. man who visited Toronto has SARS FROM CANADIAN PRESS U.S. officials confirmed today that Toronto has exported a case of SARS to the United States. To make matters worse, figuring out how the man caught the disease in the first place is stumping local SARS experts. The man, a 47-year-old from North Carolina, developed fever and pneumonia late last month after a stay in Toronto during which he visited a patient in a health-care facility. Two people who shared the room with the person he visited came down with SARS - but only several...

Meanwhile, Taiwanese health officials say the man hasn't yet tested positive for the virus associated with SARS, but officials say...

Viewers Flee ABC News and CBS News Did CBS really think it would benefit from letting Dan Rather be a useful idiot for Saddam Hussein? Does ABC really think Americans want to watch its foreign, blatantly anti-American anchorman Peter Jennings? Too bad for them that the people are voting with their feet, their wallets and their remote controls. In an astonishing break from the past, viewership of these networks' evening news shows has actually declined during this wartime. Only NBC, which has a cable operation and has long been the least offensive of the former "Big Three" networks, registered a...

By Acquiring DirecTV, Murdoch Gets Upper HandBy DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK Rupert Murdoch's begging days are over. Six years ago, when Mr. Murdoch was starting the Fox News Channel, he was reduced to pleading with Time Warner Cable to carry it in New York, reportedly offering more than $100 million to the company and eventually enlisting Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Gov. George E. Pataki in a political battle to get Fox on the air. But with the agreement yesterday to acquire the satellite broadcaster DirecTV, Mr. Murdoch, chairman of the News Corporation, can transmit his own channels into homes across...

Complete working kidneys have been grown in mice using stem cells derived from human and pig fetuses. If the feat can be repeated in humans, it will allow doctors to replace damaged organs without the need for a donor. The Israeli team, who used three-month-old mice as recipients for the growing kidneys, were able to avoid immune rejection by using embryonic stem cells. The developing kidney takes time to acquire 'antigen presenting cells' which are recognised by the host immune system as foreign. Embryonic stem cells are also able to adapt to their host, reducing the chance that they will...

Williams, who worked with explosives and had been very insubordinate was immediately suspected. The Army's Criminal Investigation Division was notified, and Williams was taken...
