Breast Cancer and Alzheimer's
Breast cancer gene may affect Alzheimer's disease Researchers know that mutations of a certain gene contribute to a higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. For the first time, scientists say the gene may also play a part in the nerve death responsible for Alzheimer's disease.

Paul Krugman Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few by Robert B. Reich Knopf, 279 pp., $26.95 Robert B.
