...Vioxx users had cardiovascular incidents. The placebo group had 1 in 100. So the risk doubled. That's the headline (it's certainly the one I'd write).

...exclusive rights to London Underground stations to distribute Metro, clearing the way for rivals to offer a free afternoon paper through the same channels. Whoever wins, "We think the Evening Standard would have to go free pretty quickly" afterward, warned Deutsche Bank analyst Mark Braley in a January research note, though Associated swats away the suggestion.

After that vote, Sharon penned a note to Adler that hangs framed on his office wall: "Reuven, my good friend, I couldn't have done it without you." Adler isn't advising Sharon on his disengagement plan, at least not officially. (The Prime Minister's office is handling the p.r.) But when Sharon faces Likud leadership primaries and a general election by next year, Adler expects to be part of the campaign. "The message will be different," Adler says...
