...Whatever the new procedures, Huckabee still lacks the basic building blocks that other campaigns take for granted. Few of Huckabee's domestic proposals, which he laid out in book he wrote himself, have been fleshed out in detail, with the notable exception of immigration, which is far more severe than his record as governor, including a call to set a 120-day deadline for illegal aliens to register and leave the country. He has only given one major speech on foreign policy, and he lacks a foreign policy advisory committee, though the campaign says one is being fast assembled...
...always seen as its best method of destabilizing enemy regimes it wants to replace. "To al-Qaeda, any means of bringing that about is fair game," the French counter-terrorism official notes, saying the group's active involvement or connivance in Bhutto's murder may be a mere detail compared to the result.

What makes report significant is the size and detail of data. Some previous, smaller studies on abortion and future birth weight have suffered because researchers were unable to untangle the effects of abortion from, say, the effects of being poor (which also happens to increase a woman's odds of having an abortion).

Tabak said the comments raised concerns about the scoring system for awarding grants, which currently permits wide discrepancies between individual reviewers. He added that grant applications sometimes require excessive detail about research procedures, which may overshadow the project’s potential scientific impact. Hoping to nurture new scientists, the committee proposed funding more projects undertaken by younger investigators who have never before received a grant. On average, science Ph.D.s are 41.8 years old by the time they receive their...
...mail recipients, says he had brushed off the threat until he got a call on Dec. 14 from Prof. George: Nava had been assaulted and was at the University Medical Center. At the hospital, Nava explained his story. "He described to us, in really creepy detail in retrospect, how it supposedly happened," Gergis recalled. "He said, 'Their breath was so distinctive; if I could only smell everybody's breath, I would be able to pick them out.'" George added that they had no reason to doubt Nava's story. Nava, he said, was a residential college adviser, Religious Life Council...
