"If I hear him say again that a child growing up in one part of [the northern English city] Sheffield has got much better life chances than a child growing up in another part of Sheffield I think I might scream," says Jo Swinson, a Lib Dem MP. "But I realize he's doing it so that everybody else hears it too." Says Clegg: "If you are in this rowdy crowded political marketplace, you have to paint in primary colors."

Also, the study looked only at tumors that were diagnosed by 2002 - not long after daily use of cell phones became widespread. Brain cancers can take several decades to develop, so it might be many years before a measurable bump in cancer rates shows up. "The latency period we have is far too short," says Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, a cancer researcher at Israel's Gertner Institute whose epidemiological studies have found some connections between cell-phone use and salivary-gland tumors. "And today, people are using the phone much more heavily." (See TIME's special report "How to Live...
