...preliminary study (released by Anthony Principi, the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs) has a much broader significance. It's the first federal study to suggest that Gulf War service is linked with brain disease. A researcher who saw vindication in the report is Texas epidemiologist Dr. Robert Haley; he has been studying Gulf War veterans for eight years, hoping to pin down the cause of a syndrome that left them chronically fatigued, nauseated, anxious and depressed. He says his findings--that some veterans suffered brain damage from exposure to toxic chemicals on the battlefield--were routinely denounced...

But when lawmakers figured out that dozens of other drugs could make the same argument as BMS, including products like...
...precise, repetitive (so much so that it sounds like a skipping CD) background chorus strumming on “Last Nite.” The band also does a masterful job of perverting genres—“Someday” is a dirty Bill Haley and the Comets-type number, while “Take it or Leave it” evokes comparisons to the Velvet Underground. The only track that seems somewhat incongruous among the mix is “Trying Your Luck,” which replaced “NYC Cops” before...
