...other hand, phenylephrine sprays are usually safe for folks with high blood pressure, since the medication stays pretty much in the nose and doesn't affect the rest of the body. Pseudoephedrine, by contrast, should not be used, except under a doctor's order, if you have hypertension. Also, in extremely rare cases, the drug may trigger a heart attack...
When an inversion, deletion or duplication occurs in an unused portion of the genome, nothing much changes--and indeed, the human, chimp and other genomes are full of such inert stretches of DNA. When it happens in a gene or in a functional noncoding stretch, by contrast, an inversion or a duplication is often harmful. But sometimes, purely by chance, the change gives the new organism some sort of advantage that enables it to produce more offspring, thus perpetuating the change in another generation...

Brownsberger agreed with Firenze on the need to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but asserted that women should have a right to choose. Firenze, a political neophyte, stumbled at times and seemed glued to her legal pad—in contrast to the more-polished Bronwnsberger, a former prosecutor. “I’m glad it’s over,” Firenze said, “but I’m looking forward to the next...
