# BRAIN MAY BE DAMAGED BY BODY'S DEFENSE AGAINST CANCER. Testicular cancer
can lead to seizures, memory loss and dementia long before the cancer is
detected, shows yet another study linking brain damage to an immune system
attack on cancer. Rare brain disorders can provide clues to immunoresponse:
http://cnn.com/HEALTH/cancer/9906/10/cancer.brain.attack.ap/index.html
: Would you rather be cancerous or demented? Should your health be monitored
by humans, aliens, gods, demons, machines? Do you remember being implanted?

# OUTRAGE OVER SEX ABUSE STUDY FORCES RETREAT. The American Psychological
Association will weigh the potential consequences of publishing research
after criticism of a study that concluded the long-term effects of child
sexual abuse are not as serious as many believe. Consider implications
before publishing: http://cnn.com/HEALTH/9906/10/sex.abuse.study.ap/
: Would you rather be abused by children, adults, aliens, deities, machines,
the gov't, animals, random patterns? What research would you like to censor?

# Gene map may be completed by 2002. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A federal project to
completely map the human genetic pattern could be complete by 2002, a year
earlier than last predicted. Researchers around the world trying to catalog
all 60,000 to 90,000 genes in human DNA are making fast progress that could
speed completion. www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559878671-8bb
: Do you have correctable genetic problems? Do you want your genes altered
anyway? Without a gene map, do you get lost in sex? Is your gene map torn?

*** New e-mail computer virus reported. NEW YORK (AP) A new computer virus
swept across the Internet, spread by e-mail like the recent Melissa virus,
but causing more damage by ruining computer files. Anti-virus teams were
trying to determine the severity of the outbreak of "Worm.Explore.Zip," a
virus that arrives by e-mail with an attached file that can infect a system.
It isn't clear how many computers or networks had been stricken so far.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559881326-aff
: Have you been attacked by a virus or worm lately? Have you created a virus
or worm lately? Are you infectious? Shall you be quarantined? Are you rabid?

# ROCKET SUCCESS ENDS STRING OF U.S. LAUNCH FAILURES. A Boeing Co. Delta II
rocket carried four satellites for the Globalstar worldwide phone network
into orbit Thursday, providing a much-needed boost for a U.S. commercial
space industry reeling from a string of costly failures. Back in the saddle
again: http://cnn.com/TECH/space/9906/10/delta.launch/index.html
: Why has US space industry been allowed to proceed? Who interfered with it?
Have you ever sabotaged a space launch? Was it much fun? Were you well paid?

*** Bin Laden calls for holy war on U.S. DUBAI, UAE (AP) Millions of Arabs
saw Osama bin Laden for the first time Thursday as he called for a holy war
on his No. 1 enemy - the United States. In a 90-minute program aired by
Qatar-based al-Jazeera satellite channel, bin Laden expressed his admiration
for the people who bombed American forces in Saudi Arabia in 1995 and 1996
and said that all Americans are targets. "They violate our land and occupy
it and steal the Muslims' possessions, and when faced by resistance they
call it terrorism," bin Laden said in an interview with the Arab world's
most popular TV channel, watched by millions in the MidEast, North Africa
and Europe. See www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559879080-496
# Pope stresses devotion to church. SIEDLCE, Poland (AP) - Pope John Paul II
stressed loyalty to the church and cautioned young people not to fall victim
to "travesties of religion, or to manipulations of the truth." At a Mass
at-tended by thousands of Roman Catholics and Eastern rite Catholics from
Bela-rus, Ukraine and Russia, the pontiff urged people to follow the example
of 13 martyrs slain in Pratulin in 1874 for resisting conversion to Orthodox
Xianity. "These simple people, fathers of families, chose at the critical
moment to suffer death rather than yield to pressure in a way untrue to
their conscience," John Paul said. "'How sweet it is to die for the faith.'
These were their last words." See
http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559874151-cf3
: Would you rather die for your faith, or kill for it? Would you rather that
some other poor sucker should die for THEIR faith? If enough people die for
their faiths, will the rest of us finally get some peace and quiet? Why not?
