Kudos on your cover story on epigenetics [Jan. 18]. As the director of mind-body medicine for a cancer center that offers seminars on how patients can benefit from this emerging science, I can attest that most have never heard of epigenetics. Yet everything in our environment--the way we think and feel, our exposure to stress--affects the way our DNA is expressed. Once we understand this premise, we can incorporate strategies to effect epigenetic changes--including neurogenesis, the growth of new nerve tissue in the brain...
...goal of this initiative is clear. Students will have cleaner inboxes, greater access to information, and the freedom to selectively plug in and digest all this information. Club groups will also benefit because instead of just targeting their list-serve members, they will be able to present detailed information to the entire Harvard community. With the ability to plan and update their events-calendar section for the full year, they won’t be hassled with continuously sending multiple reminders for each event throughout the year...

It doesn't help that the one region that could most obviously benefit from truly high-speed rail - the Boston-to-Washington corridor - received a mere $112 million in funding, in part because building new track in the congested area would be prohibitively expensive and politically challenging...
...them grumbled about Big Government, class warfare and the unfairness of scapegoating financial institutions that already repaid their bailout money while GM and Chrysler keep hemorrhaging taxpayer cash. But one midsize-bank CEO suggested the tax was a reasonable surcharge on too-big-to-fail conglomerates that benefit from an implicit guarantee of federal help in a crisis. "If I fail, the FDIC shuts me down," he said. Then he gestured at a big-bank CEO. "If he fails, the Fed asks how it can help...
