...spent efficiently on buying up toxic assets, though, it may not be sufficient. The Treasury may yet go back to Congress begging for additional dollars from a new administration if the initial allowance doesn't yield sufficient liquidity. And having fewer junky assets on their books may not cure banks of stinginess in the current climate of constraint. "Once confidence is destroyed, it's not easily restored," says Angel...
...researchers note that circumcision is no cure, and no substitute for safe-sex measures such as using condoms. Millett's analysis found that in studies conducted before 1996 - before the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy - circumcision was associated with a statistically significant 53% reduction in H.I.V.-transmission risk, which is on par with the 48% to 60% reduction in infection rates reported by the 2007 trials in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda that studied heterosexual men. After 1996, however, when antiretroviral (ARV) drugs turned H.I.V. into a condition that people lived with rather than died from, the protective effect...

As this dreadful cynicism creeps in, Harvard students begin to abandon their dreams of helping New Orleans or children in Ghana; all they really hope...
EASTON, Penn.—There’s no better cure for a heartbreaking defeat than a perfectly executed victory.With the painful loss to Brown last weekend, Harvard football (2-1, 0-1 Ivy) returned to the gridiron at Lafayette (3-1, 1-0 Patriot) to notch a 27-13 win—the eighth consecutive Crimson victory over the Leopards.“We’ve won eight in a row against these guys, but it seems like they’re the hardest team to game plan for every year,” Harvard coach...
