...Voters did send Abdullah a message-a strongly worded one. While the National Front maintained a simple majority in parliament, it lost the crucial two-thirds control Abdullah had promised in pre-election campaigning that his coalition would maintain.

And critics at the conference said Washington's neglect of this crucial area is exacerbated by its scientific spending at home; AAAS president David Baltimore, the winner of the 1975 Nobel Prize in Medicine, was particularly scathing about what he said would be a 13% real term decrease in the U.S.' health research budget from 2004 through the 2009 proposal...
