How do you know, for that matter, that as counties get more cable access, they don't also get more pediatricians scanning for autism? Easterbrook, though intrigued by the study, concedes that it could be indoor air quality rather than television...
...recognizes that it’s not just about her.“Everything on the team is very driven and works very hard,” Kharrazi says. “We’re working on technique individually and as a team—we have to mold together.”In a setting where everyone wins and loses together, crew is very different from most other sports, in which one person can stand above the rest.“It’s less about All-Stars [and] more about team,” Tucker says...
