Security guard testimony ties Tailhook incident to Las Vegas hotel
In Las Vegas, a Hilton security officer testified about a September 1991 Tailhook incident in which a half naked underage girl was removed from a hallway after being found intoxicated on the floor. The guard described seeing exposed pants and questioning how bystanders would feel, as other officials were alerted. The case involves Paula Coughlin's civil suit against the Hilton and Hilton Hotel Corp. In Washington, an NIH panel reported hip implants are generally successful but pose bone loss risks, even without cement, and recommended a cemented thighbone with non cemented pelvis as the benchmark for first time hip replacements.

Scientists close in on second breast cancer gene
Scientists from Myriad Genetics NIH and the University of Utah report isolating BRCA1, the first breast cancer gene, and say they are near locating a second hereditary breast cancer gene. The work, predicting faster discovery for BRCA2, aims to develop a test for women's cancer risk. The finding, to be published in Science, notes BRCA1 carriers have an 85 percent risk of breast cancer by 65.

Crash probe yields few clues from many pieces
More than 20 workers lay out wreckage from USAir Flight 427 in a hangar near Pittsburgh airport. Investigators seek fractures and stress in metal to explain the crash that killed 132 aboard. The team hopes to identify a cause within six months, as data suggests the right wing rose and the craft rolled left. Fans and officials note a memorial service for Capt. Peter Germano in Moorestown, New Jersey.
