Hamlet (1948) [DVD]

However, with the possible exception of Olivier's own patriotic screen version of "Henry V" in 1944, none had ever been so magnificently rendered. As Bosley Crowther gushed in "The New York Times" when it premiered in the U.S., "the filmed "Hamlet" of Laurence Olivier g ... ...

Scientists say the new malaria medicine may have a decisive edge against this persistent tropical-world killer.

Michael Riscoe of Oregon Health and Science University, in the U.S. Northwest, says the new drug, known as ELQ-300, targets the mitochondria -- energy-producing structures in the parasite's cells -- and the DNA building blocks they produce.
