...Blair knew he could not persuade British public opinion to support military action solely on the basis that Sad-dam should go and that Bush had made up his mind. He had to use, in his own phrase, "different arguments." The arguments he chose were based on Saddam's "active, detailed and growing" WMD program and his nuclear ambitions.

Kudos on your cover story on epigenetics [Jan. 18]. As the director of mind-body medicine for a cancer center that offers seminars on how patients can benefit from this emerging science, I can attest that most have never heard of epigenetics. Yet everything in our environment--the way we think and feel, our exposure to stress--affects the way our DNA is expressed.

...Louisville, Ky. "There are more than ample grounds to argue that the sustenance of marriage is necessary for the flourishing of human culture. Thus, anything that damages marriage or subverts its place in society is deleterious in its effects. Throughout history, societies have regulated marriage with this danger in mind, recognizing in marriage the privileged status granted to the heterosexual union as the best context for procreation and the raising of children - functions understood to be vital to the society's well-being. The argument put forth by Boies would mean the effective deregulation of marriage, since his arguments already...
