There are even tantalizing hints that those healthful habits may also prevent or delay Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia?although that conclusion is controversial. "I would phrase it differently," says Marilyn Albert, director of the division of cognitive neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. "What the studies have done is to take people who are middle-aged and elderly and look at what maintains good brain health...
When legal and ethical questions began spinning around House majority leader Tom DeLay last year, President George W. Bush was publicly supportive. Privately, though, he questioned his fellow Texan's mojo. Bush had scored 10 points higher than DeLay in the Representative's district in 2004, and that was only after Bush had recorded a telephone message to help rally local Republicans.

Word from the court will likely come before the new GOP House leadership vote in late January. If DeLay fails to end the case there, the hope of a trial before the March Texas primary is a long shot, and in a state with no party registration, that primary will be open to disenchanted Republicans and disgruntled Democrats alike...
