...controlled for lifestyle factors—a fairly large number of variables that indicated particular lifestyles, such as physical activity and body-mass index,” she said. She said the alternative to an observational study, a randomized trial, would be impractical given the nature of breast-feeding. Meir Stampfer, chair of HSPH’s Department of Epidemiology and a member of Michels’ research group, said that he found the study’s findings credible. “I think it’s a sound finding,” he said...
...visit to the White House in 1977, Rabin was asked by President Carter if he would like to drop by Amy's room and say good night. He said no, he wouldn't.

But police suspect that it was done at the behest of his mother?something the family denies?who allegedly disapproved of the relationship. The Rabbi has not been implicated...
...Only two days before the shooting, Bukhris had been detained briefly in Afula for taking part in a protest following the murders of two Israeli school teachers, allegedly by three Arab youths. At both this and the demonstration over Bukhris' death, police clashed with the angry followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane as the protesters shouted, "Kill the murderers of Jews!" and "Death to the terrorists!" Kahane, head of the ultraright Kach Party and the founder of the Jewish Defense League in the U.S., was prevented by police from attending Bukhris' funeral...
