...physician's disposal. A PET scan, for instance, is even more complicated, measuring how much energy is being used by your cells in order to give an energy-use mapping of a slice of your body. It is better at showing some tumors than any other imaging method. We have tri-spiral CT scanners, radionucleide bone scanners, EKG-gated CT angiographic scanners. We can test the electrical activity of brain, muscle and nerve. We can test your blood in two thousand different ways. We can test the gases going in and out of your lungs...
...Chicks decided not to back down. "Natalie knows we could have totally convinced her to apologize," says Maguire. "But the fact is, any one of us could have said what she said." Their demure response to the bans and threats--one of which arrived with the date, time and method of Maines' planned assassination--was to appear nude on the cover of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY with slurs (SADDAM'S ANGELS) scrawled on their naked bodies. That did not placate the offended. More fans and friends were lost. Gradually, though, the need for round-the-clock security faded...

(One such Harvard Medical School analysis was tellingly titled “How the Game Is Played.”)The invasion of Iraq was initiated through a lie—although the rock-ribbed proof of this has gone nearly unremarked on campus...
...solution is too permanent and the second takes too long.This article is designed to explain how to achieve the third answer to this perplexing problem by the use of the vague generality, the artful equivocation and the overpowering assumption.It seems pretty obvious that in any discussion of the various methods whereby the crafty student attempts to show the grader that he knows a lot more than he actually does, the vague generality is the key device. A generality is a vague statement that means nothing by itself, but when placed in an essay on a specific subject very well might...
