Paul, the Bowling Green ophthalmologist whose chief claim to fame is that his father Ron is the world's most famous libertarian, now leads a race he was never supposed to enter. And he leads it by as much as 20 points. In doing so, he is upsetting not only expectations in Kentucky but also overturning the local power structure: he has outraised Kentucky secretary of state Trey Grayson, the handpicked favorite son of Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell.

...Harvard was his work, Jim says, “I was trying to be an overachiever. I was doing a lot of research.” The research, into an obscure eye pigment that no one else was studying, turned into his thesis and eventually his career as an ophthalmologist...
...they know better. Sereno, Brusatte and a team of American and Chinese scientists - plus a Massachusetts ophthalmologist - have just announced the discovery of a 125 million-year-old animal that had the same distinctive build as T. rex, but at only about 1/100 the weight.

But the new dinosaur, named Raptorex kriegsteini and described in the online journal Science Express, would have been a bit taller and about as heavy as an adult human. Says Brusatte: "It really throws a wrench into the story...
...Raptorex came to light, meanwhile, is a story in itself. About three years ago, Sereno, who usually does his own fossil-hunting, was approached by ophthalmologist and avid fossil collector Henry Kriegstein for help in identifying a newly purchased specimen.

"I told him that I'd help," says Sereno, "but only if he was willing to donate the fossil to science and let us return it to China when...
Abdullah, who is an ophthalmologist and Karzai's former Foreign Minister, has adopted a populist appeal that has gone over well in a nation that is only 32% literate (for women, the rate is 15%). His speeches are short and his slogans simple. He tailors his message to the region. At a recent rally in the eastern province of Panshir, a historic mujahedin holdout during the time of the Soviet invasion, he extolled the virtues of the valley's martyrs but warned that the lives of thousands will have been sacrificed in vain if the current government is allowed...
