 Chapter XIV: The New Bases Acquired for old Destroyers
In Trinidad and British Guiana local elections were suspended for the duration of hostilities, and one of the Negro leaders in Trinidad, Uriah Butler, was arbitrarily interned because he had taken a prominent part in the 1937 riots.

Mike is the storied "man on the bridge," the single most critical eyewitness in the saga of TWA Flight 800, the 747 that was inexplicably blown out of the sky on the night of July 17, 1996.
From August 1996 until October 1997, the FBI prefaced nearly every Flight 800 news update with the assertion that its agents were intensively scrutinizing the evidence to determine whether the initial explosion was a bomb, a missile or the result of a mechanical failure, specifically in the fuel tank.
Researcher verifies testimony of key FBI witnes A researcher of the TWA Flight 800 downing says his use of the map program Google Earth to verify the claims of witnesses bolsters his belief that the 747 jetliner was shot down by a missile, contrary to the official explanation.

 British Journal of Pharmacology - Treating irritable bowel syndrome: overview, perspective and future therapies
With the experience obtained in the alosetron and tegaserod trials, which showed significant improvement over placebo within 4 weeks of onset of therapy, there is a renewed enthusiasm to change the 'dogma' that proving the efficacy of a medication in IBS requires 12-week-long clinical trials.
Interestingly, the European agency for drug evaluation has recommended that IBS medications be tested over 4-week periods and that the efficacy should be demonstrated with repeated episodes of treatment (http://www.emea.eu.int/pdfs/human/ewp/078597en.pdf; Corazziari et al., 2003).
In a previous review, the lessons learned from the recent, large, multi-center clinical trials were summarized, with insights provided on the enrichment of the study population, end points, conduct and analysis of these studies (Camilleri, 2002).
