...influential men of the Great Central West, I am informed, introduced ex-governor McKelvie [of Nebraska] as the next president. Doesn't it seem reasonable to surmise from these circumstances that have arisen during the past few months - McKelvie's conference with the President at Washington; the first overnight guest of the President at his summer home; the recipient of the only visit made by the President on a private individual while at his summer home; and, as you say, the spokesman of the President in regard to the Farm legislature and one who is apparently pleasing to the financial...

That's why environmentalists are racing to prove that ecotourism...
...psychiatry and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "Habituation to some of the [stimulating] effects may happen even more rapidly." What passes for a lift, Griffiths warns, may be nothing more than relief from the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal--such as lethargy and headache--which begin after overnight abstinence. The discomfort is probably caused by adenosine-starved brain receptors overreacting when the caffeine is removed and the brain chemical starts flowing again...
