...research papers. It may be on account of this research or maybe on account of other, less scientific factors, (read: lots more money for doctor, hospital and surgical parts company) but one way or another American orthopedists have gone from hardly every operating on these common wrist fractures to almost always operating on them. Somewhat better outcomes have been reported in large studies of many broken wrists treated surgically, but there are so many different surgical techniques and the level of skill (and effort) put into closed treatment is so variable that the "statistical evidence" comparing surgical to closed treatment...
...living situation comes off a little humorous at times; well, I live in a House—no, not like a sorority house—like, um, the Houses in Harry Potter. Without having to worry about grocery shopping or dividing up rent, Harvard students are able to devote almost all their energy to their academics and extracurriculars.

A recent New York Times/CBS poll showed that by a 56% to 34% majority, the American people prefer "a smaller government providing fewer services" to "a bigger government providing more services." An even larger majority, 59%, say the government is doing too much, while only 35% say it should be doing more. Furthermore, by a 58% to 31% margin, Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of the deficit...
