The Clan Kennedy legend is laid to rest
Article Abstract:
The recent death of Rose Kennedy marks the end of the Kennedy legacy, one of the most important myths of modern times in the US. This began with Jackie Kennedy's handling of the assassination of her husband, in the period when she taught the country how to mourn and worked hard to create a positive posthumous image of her husband. After she left the US, the role was transferred to Rose Kennedy, who became the highly respected head of the Kennedy clan.

New trails laid for childhood leukaemia hunt
Article Abstract:
Director of the Leukaemia Research Fund Centre at the Institute for Cancer Research, London, England Melvyn Greaves and director of the Cancer Epidemiology Research Group at Oxford Leo Kinlen suggest leukaemia may be associated with socio-economic status and exposure to virus. Common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia may be caused by spontaneous mutations in the white blood cells which occur in utero and a second time later in childhood.
