Furthermore, what sort of living standards does this formula create? Lowered ones. The environment will be worse, wages will be lower (because minimum wage laws die), working conditions will be more dangerous, and the government will have less to spend on infrastructure, job training, education and so on--the kinds of things that would raise living standards...
...These recommendations by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine are very irresponsible," says Dr. Ronald Kleinman, chair of the Committee on Nutrition for the American Academy of Pediatrics. The academy agrees that breast milk or iron-fortified infant formula is best for the first 12 months of life. "But we don't say that babies are going to be harmed by cow's milk or that there is a danger to them," Kleinman notes.

...Ekman's formula is helpful, within limits. It defines the contexts in which lies are or are not improper. It absolves actors and fiction writers, for example, whose professions involve fabrications but whose audiences are presumably aware of this condition before they go to the theater or open a book.

Or does this concealment merely set the stage for the true, dangerous deception, the impression created...
...believes the polls -- both the national ones that mostly give them a double- digit lead and their own state surveys that show them clearly ahead in such G.O.P. bastions as Florida, North Carolina and Kentucky. But along with success has come a cautious reluctance to mess with a winning formula. Nothing angers the Clinton cadre like the charge that they are sitting on their lead. "In the past few weeks, we've gone before the American Legion and the National Guard," says a Clinton insider. "If you saw what we did in Salt Lake City, you can't say that...
...scramble to find further variations on the love-show formula has strained producers' ingenuity. In A Perfect Score, on CBS's late-night schedule, a contestant is presented with three prospective dates. The twist is that the candidates are interrogated by three of his or her friends. Their questions are relatively serious and to the point: "Jackie has two children. How do you feel about an instant family?" The problem is that Jackie is onstage listening to everything; why doesn't she just choose the guy herself...
