...last fall, the bulk of McCain's online staff had been let go; his bare-bones website was the technological equivalent of a soapbox-derby car on a busy freeway. The McCain blog has been infrequently updated, many organizational tools were absent, and the social-networking feature, called McCainSpace, was left unfinished, with a note for supporters to "stay tuned." Even today, if you go to McCain's website, you are more likely than not to find a page that just asks for money and broadcasts the campaign's message, with issue papers, press releases and videos...
...isn’t about self-help, it’s certainly made Gilbert himself happier. For example, he takes the lesson that people tend to focus on insignificant decisions—like what pants to buy—to Costco, where he purchases his casual cargo pants in bulk...
...Monday in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a U.S. scientific journal, 17 London traders, aged 18 to 38, donated saliva samples over an eight-day period.

Like fellow postwar stars Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster, he'd tense his neck muscles and speak in a sonorous growl that brought authority...
...Obama did add his old hope riff at the end of a question-and-answer session later in Scranton, Pa., but it seemed an afterthought. The bulk of his presentation, especially the Q&A, was solid protein. He offered Hillaryesque, do-good details: If we return to the national obesity levels of 1980, it would save $1 trillion in health-care costs! He claimed that the mortgage-lending industry had spent $185 million on lobbying over the past decade, and Big Pharma had spent $1 billion. He gave comprehensive answers about trade, immigration and military procurement. He was detailed...
