...changed," Buckwheat said. "A writer named Philip Nobile has collected dozens of examples of Imus or his half-witted sidekicks saying obnoxious things about women, gays, Jews and minorities. Like calling Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post, a 'boner-nosed, beanie-wearing Jew boy.' Or the New York Knicks 'chest-thumping pimps.' Or saying that people shouldn't get upset about serial gay killer Andrew Cunanan because 'he's just whacking off freaks!' Nobile tried to sell an article asking why media bigwigs like Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather and some of your colleagues from TIME magazine feel comfortable appearing...
Republicans like to chest-thump that they follow their conscience, not the polls. But it's just as likely that they're following the klieg lights out of their post-impeachment media wilderness. The Gonzalez family--who took to crossing the street to the media encampment calling out "It's time to go live," the way other families announce "It's time for dinner"--ran an enviable press operation. The loopy, frequently hospitalized Marisleysis was hysterical over supposedly doctored photos of a smiling Elian but savvy enough to overshadow the Attorney General's press conference with her guided tour through...
...biomaterials, batteries and motors over the past 17 years, designers have licked many problems with the Jarvik-7. The biggest: it ran on pulses of air that jolted Clark with every beat. The patient had to be tied to an external wind machine and have large hoses piercing the chest--ideal spots for infection. Tiny motors have since permitted all the pumping to take place within the body. Smoother internal designs eliminate nooks where clots might form. Microprocessors can adjust blood flow to meet the body's needs, and lithium batteries, like those in cell phones, have slashed the time...
Until now, air bags and seat belts have been tested on dummies modeled after an average-size man, a practice, critics charge, that has put smaller adults and most children at risk. When an air bag deploys, its force is directed into what would be a grown man's chest. Women and children, on the other hand, end up taking the brunt of the energy in the head and neck - a design flaw that's been fatal in 158 cases since 1990. (Air bags have, however, also saved an estimated 5,500 lives.) Friday's announcement follows considerable criticism...
ERROR IN THE E.R. If you go to the emergency room with chest pains, will doctors know you're having a heart attack or just figure it's last night's burrito? A study shows that E.R. physicians correctly diagnose and hospitalize patients for heart attack and unstable angina fully 98% of the time. Still, that leaves 26,000 patients who are erroneously sent home. What's more, doctors are more likely to err in diagnoses of women under 55, African Americans, Hispanics and other minorities...
