VA and other federal agencies ready have dozens of studies in progress examining a broad range of hypotheses about Gulf veterans, such as detection of any unusual patterns in their causes of death, their hospitalizations or the health of their children.

He has drawn upon exhaustive primary research including Savage's personal journals from which he has excerpted numerous vivid passages - letting Savage speak directly of his own perceptions and experi1 door-to-do- or collection of negatives destroyed by fire.
