...their breast cancer when there is absolutely no evidence that it does,” Bernstein said. Jeffrey Kwong ‘09, vice president of Harvard Right to Life (HRL), said that while the HRL supports scientific research to better understand the effects of abortion, he finds a flaw in Michels’ study: that 93 percent of the women were premenopausal. “This means the period of study is too short to determine a link between abortion and breast cancer,” Kwong said. “I think this is a common complaint with...
...when we met her she was a financial journalist, just like I was. Not the best financial journalist in the world, just like me. She's a wonderful person. She's warm and good-hearted and she's a genius. She's savvy and she just has one major flaw, which is that she loves to shop. Too much. And this gets her into trouble again and again.

...there is a major flaw in that marketing strategy. On the face of it, KSM, as he is known inside the government, comes across as boasting, at times mentally unstable. It's also clear he is making things up. I'm told by people involved in the investigation that KSM was present during Wall Street Journal correspondent Danny Pearl's execution but was in fact not the person who killed him. There exists videotape footage of the execution that minimizes KSM's role. And if KSM did indeed exaggerate his role in the Pearl murder, it raises the question...
