...stopped there. But two days later, he held a memorable press conference in which he announced that he had produced an anti-Romney ad ... but he wasn't going to air it ... except for the entire press corps, which he proceeded to do. This attempt to turn the other cheek while slapping his opponent was greeted, appropriately, with derisive laughter. In his spasm of attacks, though, Huckabee did raise an important point: "If a person becomes President by being dishonest," he said, "he won't start being honest when he gets there...
...differences between children with sensory-processing problems and typical kids. In one set of experiments, electrodes are attached to children's hands to measure nervous-system activity in response to a series of stimuli that include a siren, a powerful wintergreen scent, the brush of a feather against the cheek--each repeated eight times. A healthy child will show a strong electrodermal response--basically a measure of sweating or stress--to the first exposure but will quickly habituate, showing little response to the final repetitions. Kids with one brand of SPD jump through the roof with every repetition...
...ethnicity and religion, too. I couldn't know to what extent: a year after the war, Dani converted from Islam to Protestantism after reading a New Testament given to him by American missionaries. "It matched with my philosophy," he says. "Jesus' message is love, to turn the other cheek." Dani keeps his faith close to his chest.

While imagining the Harvard hockey experience as a public relations fanfare corporate-sponsored to within an inch of its life makes would be pretty weird, it?...
Twenty-five days. That's how long it took Dr. Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University to undo more than 30 years of exquisitely programmed biology packed into a woman's cheek cell - and just maybe change the world. In a procedure that some scientists thought could take decades to discover, Yamanaka tricked the cheek cell into acting like an embryonic stem cell - capable of dividing, developing and maturing into any of the body's more than 200 different cell types. And he wasn't alone: on the same day that he published his milestone in the journal Cell, James Thomson...
