...fact, there has been one case of cancer - in a French bulldog named Leon - according to a 2006 study in Veterinary Pathology. But it remains unclear whether the cancer was caused by a microchip or as the result of an injection, or who the maker of the chip was. The dog's tumor was removed in 2004, and a later examination found no recurrence. It seems that no one notified the FDA about Leon, but his case doesn't appear to worry the agency, as evident from a statement it issued when the AP brought Leon's story to light...

Harvard freshman Maggie McVeigh scored the game’s first goal in the 18th minute of the first half to put the Crimson ahead, 1-0.

Critics who damned Blair as Bush's poodle were eagerly looking for such signs. When Brown took over, they dared to hope that the British bulldog would now cock its leg on neocon policy. Miliband's own appointment hinted at a shift. He is seen as a skeptic on the war in Iraq, though he supported the government line - something he is reputed not to have done when Israel invaded Lebanon last year. "Blair's position was too close [to the U.S.], and now they have to find a way of getting some distance without causing a rift," says Charles...
