...unit. I still enjoy bananas and coffee, and I have no problem drinking beer that comes from - gasp! - California. The point of eating locally is to become more familiar with our food. It's nice to hear a farmer say that my rib-eye steak came from a cow that ate local pasture grass rather than a corn-and-antibiotic slurry. Ben Kraft, Ann Arbor, Michigan...

...science behind it goes back much further. In the 1950s, researchers developed a vaccine to block fatal overdoses of the heart drug digitalis. In the 1970s University of Chicago researchers prompted monkeys to develop antibodies to heroin by attaching molecules of the drug to a protein from cow's blood. It was this model on which Kosten, who became interested in solving addiction as a medical student at Cornell, based TA-CD. Using the cholera bacterium as a vector is a crucial tweak in design; it allows the cocaine vaccine to sidestep the potential viral syndrome associated with other vaccines...
...knew that the bull dies. However, I told myself, being born a bull in today’s world is bad news regardless. In the United States, many bulls are raised as beef cattle. Such bulls are usually born on cow-calf operations. At six to 10 months, they are weaned, and after about a year they’re sold to a cattle feeder or stoker/backgrounder who then prepares them for the feedlot (gives them grain, etc.). At a feedlot, the bulls live in pens and receive hormones and more grain. Once a bull is 18 to 22 months...
...shortcut to make their choices simpler. If only there were some simple, reliable resource that could accurately determine with absolute certitude which schools are worth applying to, and which aren’t.Enter U.S. News and World Report’s College Rankings, the magazine’s cash cow. U.S. News has perfectly capitalized on the zeitgeist of today’s hyper-involved parents and their overachieving children, milking every cent from their anxiety. The idea is so powerful that the magazine has started rankings for pretty darn near everything that can be ranked—from hospitals...
