...forget!" Evidently, the lever technology needed such aggressive commercials - fifteen states that had adopted the device since its mass production in 1892 had returned them by 1929, calling them too complicated, too expensive and too difficult to keep in working order. In the early 1960s, University of California at Berkley professor Joseph Harris suggested applying to ballots the punch-card method used by early computers - setting the stage for the hanging chad controversy of the 2000 elections.

Already, says Dr. Roy Steigbigel of State University of New York at Stony Brook, and one of the leading investigators of Merck's isentress, volunteers have begun to develop resistance to the integrase inhibitor - a drug that hasn't even yet been approved...
...City Council vote - a 35-14 drubbing - takes the issue citywide. Furthermore, retailers like Target and Wal-Mart have to answer to their shareholders, who demand growth. ?The cities are really the last frontier for big-box retailers,? says Arindrajit Dube, a research economist at the University of California, Berkley. ?The only place they are growing is global, but the urban market is just too lucrative for them to ignore...
