Twenty Harvard students have been traveling since Saturday on a week-long trip up and down the east coast to protest the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy barring openly homosexual or bisexual recruits from enlisting in the armed services...
...have a chapter on boomeritis, including some of my stories, the various baby-boomer injuries I've had. Many days, even though I'm a cardiologist, I feel more like an orthopedist in my practice because we always ask about how people are exercising, and they have a lot of complaints.

That was certainly the case after the reformer Mohammed Khatami won a surprise landslide election to become the Iranian President in 1997. The Clinton Administration began making quiet diplomatic overtures toward Khatami, and a handshake between Clinton and him was choreographed...
