...human data on bisphenol A have been "really inconclusive," says Antonia Calafat, a research chemist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing a lack of big quality studies testing the chemical's effects in humans. In order to prove definitively that bisphenol A is not harmful to people, researchers would need to conduct large, lengthy trials, such as those that finally concluded that thimerosal-containing vaccines do not cause autism in children. That would require rounding up a control group of participants with very little exposure to bisphenol A - no small feat. Calafat's recent findings showed that...

While he offers a few homecomings—exposing a falsehood, finding love, realizing what it really is that Debauer is looking for—there is ultimately a lack of closure.Debauer never confronts his father and he still feels “a longing for the Odysseus” of his childhood.

...perfectly matched its ambitions, both through its flawless melodies and its irresistible sense of irony, that every work of his before or since has fallen in its shadow. Naturally, and perhaps intentionally, 2004’s “i” disappointed, with its tacked-on concept and lack of consistently interesting material. Now, the Fields return with “Distortion,” an album with a guitar-heavy, feedback-sheathed sound that’s inspired by the work of The Jesus and Mary Chain. The similarities with the Chain are limited to the atmosphere, however...
