...possible danger of easy-to-use testosterone is that it might become a temptation to younger males looking to bulk up at the gym. Not many of them would be able to demonstrate the diminished T counts that would allow them to get it legally from their doctors, but the potential for a black market in AndroGel is not hard to imagine among teens and guys in their 20s--and older--who hear stories about a new substance stronger than the supplements available over the counter and easier to use than anabolic steroids that are injected.

Since Megan's Law was introduced in 1994, public defenders have argued that its notification requirements were too far-reaching and that confidentiality guidelines were too lax. Although recent, more stringent specifications bulk up those safeguards by requiring recipients of identifying information to sign a pledge of confidentiality, they say that there is little that authorities can (or are willing to) do when that pledge is broken by anxious parents or school officials.

Economic development in many of the world's poorest countries is paralyzed by a crippling $350 billion debt burden, the bulk of which is owed to the IMF and World Bank. Many of the world's 40 poorest countries spend a considerable portion of their GNP (which in many cases is smaller than their debt) simply on paying the interest owed. It's a point of consensus now between all but the most diehard conservatives that without significant debt relief, billions...
