...meaningful, but the results--the outcomes of those prayed over were 50% to 100% better than those of a control group--were sufficient, as Krucoff puts it, to be "intriguing." He and Crater will present them at an American Heart Association meeting in November, and the duo hope to begin a full-bore, statistically powerful study next year. Meanwhile, for patients who want them, they see no reason why the intercessions should cease...
There is much debate and no single explanation for the paradox. To begin with, economists generally agree that official figures understate productivity, though they quarrel sharply about how much and why. It is clear too that many buyers fail to get the most out of their computers--some because they try to make the computers perform functions to which they are not really adaptable; others because they buy computers more powerful and more expensive than they truly need; others still because they fail to appreciate how hard it will be to train their employees to use the machines effectively...

Sources tell TIME that Hyde last week was also considering announcing that his hearings would be completed by Christmas...

My brother never graduated, and for the next 10 years he wandered from job to job and city to city without finding the security he was so desperately looking...
WASHINGTON: The Clinton impeachment process is going underground for a little while. Judiciary chair Henry Hyde and chief Republican investigator David Schippers plan to keep their post-vote deliberations under lock and key -- or at least low-key -- until hearings formally begin after the November 3 elections. It's a strategy that speaks volumes; not only is Hyde hoping to keep the messy subject out of sight for the sake of fast-fading bipartisanship -- not to mention the oft-cited Rodino format -- but the GOP is also recognizing that the defection of a mere 31 Democrats Thursday was not exactly...
