After the death of the Pope, the conclave has gathered in a locked room to choose his successor among four cardinals designated "preferitti". However the quartet is abducted by the Illuminati, a secret brotherhood that was supposed eradicated. The symbologist Robert Langdon and the scientist Vittoria Vetra, who had her powerful and dangerous prototype of antimatter research stolen, are invited by the Vatican police to help them in their investigations. They are received by the receptive Camerlengo, Patrick McKenna, and by the reluctant Commander Richter. They are informed that the Illuminati have promised to kill each cardinal every hour from 8:00 PM and then blow up Vatican City with the antimatter. Robert and Vittoria have a few hours to unravel the clues and discover where the lethal weapon might be hidden.

Something has gone wrong at aremote scientific research station on Mars. All research has creased. Communication has failed, and the messages that do get through are less then comforting. It's a level 5 quarantine and the only souls allowed in or out are the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, a squadron armed to the teeth with unprecedented firepower to carry on their mission nothing gets out alive. But a legion of nightmarish creatures of unknown origin lurks behind ever wall and stalks the countless rooms and tunnels.... far more powerful and blood-thirsty than anyone could ever imagine.

Antibiotics have revolutionized the practice of medicine. The magic bullets have been used to fight the bacteria that cause many of man's ill including veneral disease, tuberculosis, stomach uler, mastoiditis and other common infections. However, bacteria that once yielded so quickly to these wonder drugs have learned to resist the antibiotic onslaught. Today, infections that were once easily cured are not responding to the usual treatments. We have abused antibiotics to the point where we must now go back to the lab and begin research to develop a whole new generation of drugs. Also explores the use of antibiotics in agriculture and the possible side effects it has on new strains of resistant bacteria. Includes looking at some of the new uses that are being found for the most important weapon ever developed for medicine arsenal.

2003 marks the 50th anniversary of Francis Crick and James Watson groundbreaking discovery of DNA. In the half century that has followed, advances in the field of genetic science have come at a light speed. From genetically modified crops, or frankenfood, to Dolly th sheep, to recent rumours of the first cloned human baby, genetic research has and will continue to transform lives. Despite the huge coverage of genetic science, there is little sense that anyone is directing the debate.

Two scientists, Dr. Elena Kinder (Diane Keaton) and Dr. Heep (Christopher Lloyd), use genius-baby studies to fund BabyCo's theme park "Joyworld". According Dr. Kinder's Research, babies are supposed to possess vast, universal knowledge and speak a secret yet impossible-to-translate baby prelanguage called "Babytalk". At age two, however, the knowledge and language are lost as the babies "cross over" by learning how to talk. Most of the babies that were raised in Dr. Kinder's vast, underground research facility were adopted from the Pasadena orphanage, transformed into geniuses through use of the Kinder Method, and then used in experiments to decipher the language used by the baby-geniuses. One mischievous toddler, Sylvester (AKA Sly), makes repeated attempts to escape Dr. Kinder's research facility and one night, Sylvester goes into a dirty diaper truck and he actually succeeds. The next morning, one things Sylvester does not expect is to run into his twin, Whit, in a mall playground. Although Sylvester and Whit share a telepathic bond, they have no idea of each other's existence. While the guards from Dr. Kinder's research facility capture Whit, mistake him for Sylvester, and take him back to Dr. Kinder's research facility, Sylvester is taken home by Whit's adopted mother, Robin (Kim Cattrall), who is Dr. Kinder's niece. After Dr. Kinder is horrified that Whit and Sylvester switched at the mall, she decides to do a cross evaluation on Sylvester and Whit. However, when she comes to Dan Bobbin's place, she realizes that Dan Bobbin can understand babies. After the attempts to retrieve Sylvester fail, Dr. Kinder decides to move the research facility to Lichtenstein, so that they can transform Whit into becoming a genius thanks to him getting bred by the Kinder Method (thus erasing his memories about his foster parents, foster brothers and foster sisters) and use him as an experiment to crack the code to "Babytalk". The babies at Bobbin's place hypnotize Lenny (Dom DeLuise), the bus driver to drive to Dr. Kinder's research facility. Once at the research facility, Sylvester goes to the control room to set the robots from the theme park on the lab scientists. When the Bobbins return home, their natural daughter Carrie tells her father that the children are in Dr. Kinder's research facility. At the end of the fight Dr. Kinder captures Whit and takes him to the helicopter pad on the roof. Robin and Dan chase them to the roof, where Dr. Kinder reveals that she and Robin are not related, and that Robin was adopted at age two. After Dr. Kinder got arrested by the police, Sylvester and Whit come together on the roof to cross over. Dan and Robin adopt Sylvester. Dan is still curious of the secrets of life, but as the twins have crossed over they no longer know those secrets. Carrie, their sister, doesn't reveal anything (just gives her dad a sly smile) because adults aren't meant to know their secrets.

Eighteen months into clinical trials for new cancer vaccine, world renowned Doctor, Steven Rosenberg from the National Cancer Institute, now has conclusive evidence that our bodies can be made to attack cancer. Working with patients that are terminally ill with the deadly skin cancer melanoma, Dr. Rosenberg has found that 42% of the patients are seeing their cancer disappear.These result more than double previously known response rate for melanoma and give real hope to patients suffering from this disease. Part medical detective story, part real-life drama. Two patients have been their cancer "melt-away", and one is nearly cancer free.
