...Bhutto's revisionist account of her political life - echoing the style of her earlier memoir, Daughter of the East - airbrushes out other unpleasantries that call for a deeper examination. Significant charges of corruption are dismissed as politically motivated, and her government's early support of the Taliban regime in neighboring Afghanistan is forgotten. Her insistence that 3 million supporters thronged the streets of Karachi to greet her return from exile strains credibility, especially as most journalists and observers have put that number, by the most generous estimates, at 300,000. Most egregious however, are her overwrought descriptions of the terrible...
...Battle of the Bands might even be awarded with the chance to open Yardfest’s headliner. The CEB is already taking steps to increase their transparency and increase communication with students. Next year’s process of choosing of artist will take a student poll into account, and tonight, undergraduates have the opportunity to mingle with their house’s CEB rep in the dining hall.

But new research released Monday shows that immigrants in California are, in fact, far less likely than U.S.-born Californians are to commit crime. While people born abroad make up about 35% of California's adult population, they account for only about 17% of the adult prison population, the report by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) showed. Indeed, among men ages 18 to 40 - the demographic most likely to be imprisoned - those born in the U.S. were 10 times more likely than foreign-born...
...flawed, however. One massive problem: there are many more recent studies than those surveyed in the article, which looked only at pre-approval trials conducted before 1999. Nicholas Francis, a U.K. spokesman for Eli Lilly and Company, which produces Prozac, says that the new study "does not take into account that today more than 12,000 patients have participated in Prozac clinical trials and thousands of scientific papers have referenced Prozac, supporting its use in the treatment of depression." Some 50 million people worldwide have taken Prozac, and in a company statement Lilly said it "is proud of the difference...
