...results confirmed the value of annual screening in detecting cancer. After seven years, 2,820 cases of cancer were caught in the group that had been instructed to have annual checkups, vs. 2,322 in the group that was left on its own - a difference of 22%. The reasonable conclusion is not that the second group just happened to be healthier but that a significant share of their cancers went undetected. So case closed, right...
...fact is, I was really upset that the Internet shut down. I was livid. Then I caught myself - wait a minute, what are you upset about? This was incredible that it was possible even. It was like an epiphany to me, I started seeing things differently. "Take a breath and calm down, this is as good as they make these right now.

Plenty hard, it seems, since somewhere in the course of our fin de siècle excess, we corrupted the culture of contrition as well. Public apologies now play like vaudeville: the extravagant remorse of disgraced televangelists, the snarled "I'm sorry" of celebrities who exude regret at being caught rather than being wrong, the artful admissions of politicians who want credit for their confessions without any actual cost.

She qualified for the NCAA Championships—taking place at Texas A&M’s Student...
House culture: Unrivalled. Mather spirit is legendary, second only to Mather love. You may have seen the Mather flag proudly waving across the field at Harvard-Yale halftime. Or you may have caught venereal disease(s) from the infamous Mather Lather. Mather's very active HoCo offers biweekly happy hours (which, unlike Dunster's, last 2 hours) with carefully selected themes ranging from “Jungle Olympics” to, most recently, “Dinoswhores and Brobots.” Some houses only have enough spirit for intramural competitions (*cough* Winthrop *cough*). Mather, however, focuses its energy...
