...Chicago Bear Merril Hoge retired after suffering two concussions within 42 days. Because he was not required to have a second evaluation following his initial treatment, he returned to the field five days after his first concussion, only to suffer a hit to the same unhealed spot. Past and current players suggest that playing despite injury is implied and expected. But Hoge, wary of the danger of multiple concussions, claims that he was fortunate: “Second impact syndrome kills you...I got lucky...
...communities have similarly sweeping handgun bans on the books; no state has followed Washington's lead. Gun-rights advocates believe that if the Supreme Court affirms the decision by June 2008, Democrats will be forced to choose between supporting an unpopular handgun ban and conceding that the right to bear arms is a fundamental right.

...justify this move is to link up emissions with long-term—as opposed to short-term—security concerns. Climate change offers its own chilling set of bogeymen. The developing world is predicted to bear the brunt of climate change’s maladies, as rising temperatures exacerbate food shortages. The list of failed states will be a lot longer in 20 or 30 years if no action is taken. The prospect of millions of refugees, incensed at decades of American apathy, is scary enough to keep Pentagon planners up at night...
