...CORI effectively serves as a scarlet letter on job applications: inviting censure and exclusion, regardless of the offender’s contrition or rehabilitation.

We urge senators and the Bush Administration to make an amendment to the proposed budget and increase federal funding for biomedical research. Innovation must not be stymied when it is most accessible...
Where Clinton tried to score points, she largely missed. When their argument over whether Obama had plagiarized lines from his campaign co-chairman, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, the Illinois Senator got the better of the exchange. "You know, this is where we start getting into silly season, in politics, and I think people start getting discouraged about it," Obama said. Clinton rejoined with an attack line that fell flat, and even drew some boos: "You know, lifting whole passages from someone else's speeches is not change you can believe in, it's change you can Xerox."
