...everyone takes it right, and even a single dose may not be safe for everyone. The FDA has received at least 1,500 reports of health problems associated with ephedra supplements, including almost 90 that resulted in death. The problem, says Dr. Harrison Pope, a Harvard psychiatrist who has studied supplements, is that it is hard to know exactly how many people use ephedra, which would tell doctors whether 1,500 is a significant portion. The ephedra industry says it is being unfairly targeted. "More than 16,000 deaths each year occur from the use of aspirin and similar drugs...

For those who would rather not mix their fixes, there are other innovative and non-alcoholic ways to get your daily dose of caffeine. Lathering up in the morning with caffeinated soap can now provide you with 200 milligrams per wash—that’s twice the caffeine in a cup of coffee.

Some writers, however, clearly aspire to a higher standard. Their websites hold stories rich in characterization and dramatic in scope, truly breathing life into these walking tin cans...
...journalists are wisely trained to take such phrases with a healthy dose of skepticism. Silver-penned speechwriters can put any sentiments they like into their master's voice. Plenty of people, in the U.S. and outside it, think Bush's fine words about liberty and openness are lies; the war against terrorism and the contest with Iraq, they think, are all about oil, or protecting Israel, or completing his Dad's unfinished business. Suggestions that the Administration is genuinely committed, say, to building democracy in the Middle East, are treated as a bit of a joke...
