...pediatrics, allergy and immunology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. Researchers don't yet know why these allergies are blooming, but some experts think premature exposure to nut-based products in infancy may be to blame. Others believe the link is genetic. Still others cite the hygiene hypothesis - the idea that more and more parents are oversanitizing their kids with antibacterial agents, causing their immune systems to become more susceptible to allergies...
...What's striking about the decision to set Wilson free is the majority's reliance on the U.S. Constitution's Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Criminal defense attorneys often cite the language in seeking their client's release, but are rarely successful. In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has relied on the Eight Amendment to steadily chip away at the death penalty in recent decisions barring the execution of juvenile offenders and the mentally ill. But even the harshest prison sentences are rarely reversed...
...Both The Crimson and the Spectator, in their panegyrics to Bollinger’s heroism, cite Ahmadinejad’s status as a “world leader” as the reason why hearing his opinions would be valuable. But, as it turned out, his speech was replete with neither detailed policy discussions nor insights available only to those on high. The Crimson, though, at least also saw value in embarrassing him—“a clown cowering behind the podium”—for his outlandish views. If exposing bigots is a worthy goal...
...number’s up on that temporal seat of power, and the moral majority seems content to cite a “changing global climate,” violate their entire value system and hope no one takes notice. And there appears to be no evident limit to how total this betrayal could potentially become. Every trend suggests that were the vacuous former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney to survive the Republican primary, he would win not a little support from the same people who four years ago were condemning entire homosexuals, pro-choice liberals, and the city...
...Opponents argue that this program weds the cultivation of knowledge with a market-mentality not fit for the classroom. But in schools where the teachers are underpaid, the classrooms are overcrowded, and students are more focused on earning money for basic necessities than their studies, it is frivolous to cite the destruction of the culture of knowledge as a counterargument to this type of solution. In New York City last year, less than one percent of black students passed an AP test. Given statistics like these, it is hard to argue against any program that strives to increase students?...
