In the Senate, elementary arithmetic will work against the G.O.P.: two years from now, more Republican seats (17) than Democratic (16) will be at hazard.

...system, and that such a society places profit before people. Among the examples cited by SftP are: attempts to cure cancer through recombinant DNA research rather than by eliminating carcinogens from the environment; screening factory workers for genetic susceptibility to tungsten-caused cancer rather than eliminating the hazard; pinning the blame for deviant behavior and widespread social ills on the genes of individuals rather than on the structure of society...
