Unlike traditional anti-addiction approaches, such as 12-step programs, psychotherapy and older medications like methadone for heroin addicts or the nausea-inducing Antabuse for alcoholics, vaccines like TA-CD prevent the addictive substance from ever reaching the user's brain - that is, they inhibit the addictive cycle rather than respond to it. The goal is to eliminate the chemical cascade that results in the euphoric "high," which, in turn, sparks addiction - what comedian George Carlin once described this way: "What does cocaine make you feel like? It makes you feel like having more cocaine...
...Their only hope is to take away votes from McCain," says one Republican strategist. "They don't need to convince people to vote for Mitt Romney, they just need to make sure McCain doesn't get any help from independents and that hard-core conservatives cast some kind of anti-McCain protest vote." If Romney can eke out a close second, he heads to the primary in Michigan - his family's home state, where his father was governor - in a position to finally overtake McCain, probably finishing off that cash-strapped campaign for good.

...particular anger is how corruption reserves much of Kenya's riches for the Kikuyu elite, and condemns millions to poverty. Despite an economy that grew at 6.2% last year, 55% of Kenya's 36 million population live on less than $2 a day. Though Kibaki was elected on an anti-corruption ticket in 2002, he proved a disappointment: graft and cronyism have thrived and his anti-corruption tsar John Githongo fled to London in 2005. Githongo never explained why he left Kenya. He reportedly had begun to doubt the government's commitment to tackling corruption and had received death threats...
