...harmful to people, researchers would need to conduct large, lengthy trials, such as those that finally concluded that thimerosal-containing vaccines do not cause autism in children. That would require rounding up a control group of participants with very little exposure to bisphenol A - no small feat. Calafat's recent findings showed that, among roughly 2,500 Americans tested in 2003 and 2004, more than 95% already had traces of bisphenol A in their urine. Alternatively, researchers could test how higher-than-average doses of bisphenol A affects people. Again, a likely dead end. "As a scientist it would...
...1950s, with Japanese cities still pocked by wartime bombing, Keene published an English-language anthology of Japanese literature that gave the world glimpses of an astoundingly rich literary tradition. An 1899 history of Japanese literature was the only reference available in English at that time. Keene's feat was stupendous. Just over a decade into his study of the language, he navigated more than a millennium of its finest compositions - the creation myths of Japan's oldest book, the 7th century Kojiki; early poetry from the 8th century collection Manyoshu; the sublime socio-psychological epics by the legendary 11th century...
...college basketball made headlines for throwing a chair across court and for several alleged assaults. Still, the purity of Bob Knight's passion drew loyal fans. As Indiana's legendary leader from 1971 to 2000, "the General" took the Hoosiers to an undefeated '76 season--a feat not since repeated--and three NCAA championships. Knight, 67, who led the U.S. to Olympic gold in 1984, emphasized teamwork, never broke NCAA rules and ran clean programs with high graduation rates. In a sudden midseason move, the combative Hall of Famer resigned on Feb. 4 as head coach at Texas Tech...
...plot is far and away the work’s least compelling feature. Certainly, had Kennedy handled her plot with any less dexterity, Day’s perception of place and time as fluid rather than fixed would have dragged the novel into disconnected stasis. And it is a feat that Kennedy manages to portray the human mind with (most of) its disorder and associative tendencies, and still drag a story out of it—though, at times, Kennedy exposes her narrative manipulations, clustering beloved ones’ deaths suspiciously close together or violating the mind?...
...better than them in the league in the 200 fly, and that it was time for them to show that. They responded and really shut it down in the 200 fly. It was a really impressive performance.” Seconded Rathgeber: “It was a big feat. We got the momentum back quickly.”The Crimson also got strong performances from its distance crew, which performed exceptionally well in a small, wavy Yale pool that is generally not conducive to longer races. In addition to the 200 free, Wollner led a 1-2-3 finish...
