...question remains: Does all this newfound Establishment attention mean that the nonconventional therapies really work? Critics say a definitive scientific answer must await well-designed experiments involving many patients. Up to now, most of the studies have relied on personal observation and anecdotal testimonials from satisfied patients. The official position of the American Medical Association, the alternatives' chief antagonist, is that a patient's improvement or recovery after alternative treatment might just as well be incidental to the action taken...
...quality visual backdrops, the sound systems that never fail. Most of us dutifully report the torrent of bite-size initiatives his policy wonks are churning out, from free cell phones for neighborhood-watch groups to a Website for locating deadbeat dads.

As Americans, we are frustrated to hear that Russians may choose communism over democracy, since freedom is our most cherished idea. Freedom is supposed to empower people. But it is a lot easier to choose and appreciate freedom if you have bread on your table. It's true that economic reform takes time, but Russians are sick of being...
