...introduced earlier. Then there is the question of exactly how ginkgo is acting on the body; if the compound works by improving circulation not just in the brain but throughout the body, for example, then this study may not have been refined enough to pick up those subtle, more indirect effects. "What we would really like to see is additional research," says Douglas MacKay, vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs for the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a leading trade organization of dietary-supplement makers. "What we would not like to see is this study closing the door on answering...
...heed Jane Austen's warning that "nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast." If Obama appears proud of how humble and open-minded he is, if he demonizes opponents instead of debating them, if his actual choices are quietly ideological while his rhetoric flamboyantly inclusive, he will be missing a great opportunity - and have much to be modest about...

Taxpayers already subsidize abortions through the tax break given to employers for sponsoring company-insurance plans, and technically any employer that receives a government grant - say, for laboratory research - has a fungibility issue if it uses...
