...decade later, the Medical School considered loosening its regulations and convened a faculty committee to assess them. The school’s dean, Joseph B. Martin, elected to let the current policies stand, “rather than add yet another variation,” he wrote in a statement at the time. And the policies have changed little since then...
...Boatright and his colleagues are working on a technique that would let ophthalmologists fix genes that not just fail to express themselves, like Robert Johnson's, but that have mutated in a way that they express themselves abnormally, a trickier proposition because doctors need to add something and suppress something else at the same time. (Boatright and co. would inject short DNA strands that, where they bound with the patient's DNA at the point of the fault, would alert the body's existing repair mechanisms to the problem). The future looks bright indeed...

Both of the right-wing populists, Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter, seem obscure and insubstantial, a classic problem for House members running for President; neither is as compelling as Pat Buchanan, who has played this role in the past. I've been surprised by how ineffective Tancredo has been in making his anti-immigrant pitch, which should have some resonance in the Republican Party. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee seems...

Air Deccan, for example, advertises a fare of just $6.60 plus taxes for a 45-min. flight from New Delhi to Jaipur. Add in higher fuel prices, and you've got a recipe for red ink. Indian airlines lost some $500 million last year, after a couple of years of robust profit growth...

If my Iraqi oil traders are right, it's one more thing we need to add to the long list Wolfowitz and his neo-con friends in the Administration got wrong: oil is helping pay for Iraq' s destruction...
