...vaccine is far from ready for public consumption, and researchers think that even if future trials confirm its utility, it may never reach the market. That's due in part to legal hurdles - drugmakers fear that patients who take an addiction drug, then later overdose or develop another ailment, like cancer, may lay blame on the vaccine. Addiction experts also caution that no drug-based addiction treatment is a panacea, and that behavior-based quit programs must play a role. "It's good that they're doing this research, but we need to temper our enthusiasm," says Carl Hart, associate...
...much longer and further will the government expand? Republicans are reminiscent for the days of a bygone era, an era that supported the self-made man and competition. The idea of the economic frontier is no longer pulsating to the country’s rhythm. Now, Republicans fear America will grow accustomed to looking to the government for all of its solutions.

We were taken by his formidable intellect and his youthful energy. We were interested in his story, inspired by his eloquence, and impressed with his honesty. Older generations who had endured the stinging insults of racism found...
...none of this changes the fact that Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl. Polanski did not allow himself to be properly sentenced for this crime, instead choosing to flee the country on the fear that his transgression would be met with a prison sentence. Justice was never served, and it does not have an expiration date. The administration of justice may be 30 years late and may only be taking place now because of Polanski’s celebrity, but this is merely a reflection of the unfortunate fact that not everyone who escapes justice...
