[texhax] two minipages side-by-side in beamer

I am using beamer on Win98 with MikTex.  I want to make two itemized 
lists, side-by-side, on a single slide.

Here is my preamble:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{PaloAlto}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}



I tried using \begin{minipage} like this:

\frame
{
\frametitle{Interview}

\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
  \begin{itemize}
	\item current symptoms
	\item past medical history
	\item family history
	\item social history
	\item review of systems
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}

\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
	\item detect hypertension
	\item recognize emergency
	\item recognize reversible causes
	\item find chronic target organ damage
	\item discover co-morbid conditions
	\item plan therapy
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
}

But I just got one 11-item bulleted list.

So I put in \twocolumn just below \frametitle{...}, but that didn't make 
any difference.

Anyone know how to do this?  Should I \usepackage{multicols} (I think 
there is something like that)?

Thanks.
