...First Lady can pick and choose her issues, but as a Senator, Hillary has been forced to take stands in areas that go far beyond the health-care and family issues that Americans have long associated with her. Her voting pattern has tilted liberal, but in National Journal's ratings of the five Democratic Senators most often mentioned as presidential contenders, Hillary's record (more liberal than 80.5% of her Senate colleagues', in a computer analysis of key votes) comes down in the middle--less liberal than Kerry (85.7%) but more so than Delaware's Joe Biden (76.8%) and Indiana...
...studies add some real science to the topic. Unfortunately, they contradict each other. One, appearing in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, compared a Gatorade-like drink with one similar to Accelerade, as well as with an artificially sweetened placebo. The conclusion: added protein might indeed help muscle recovery, but it does nothing to aid athletic performance. The other, appearing in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, looked not at performance but at hydration--how much of what you drink stays in your body. And in that study Accelerade came...
...blood flow in capillaries around the eye. A new application of thermal-imaging technology, called periorbital thermography, uses a high-resolution camera to detect temperature changes as small as .045°F (.025°C). Endocrinologist James Levine of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., co-authored a paper in the journal Nature in 2002 in which he claimed a lie-detection accuracy of 73%. Investigators at the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (DODPI) in Fort Jackson, S.C., tell TIME they have reached...
...questions about the new technologies. The American Civil Liberties Union filed Freedom of Information requests in June, seeking to learn more about lie-detection research the government is conducting and whether the techniques are already being used in the field. This fall a leading--but as yet undisclosed--science journal will publish the results of a paper it solicited from Stanford's Greely and other legal experts and scientists exploring the ethics of lie detection. The authors are not expected to smile unreservedly on the science or on the way they believe it may already be in use--perhaps, according...
...fact that tonight’s meeting was conducted almost entirely in executive session drew fire from some, namely Cambridge Civic Journal proprietor Rob Winters. He had urged residents earlier this week to “buy seven fat cigars, wrap each in a crisp dollar bill, and send one to each member of the School Committee to enjoy in the privacy of their smoke-filled back room...
