...Duped, Drop by Drop I cannot believe that TIME would use an entire page to review bottled water [June 25-July 2]. Most people can't even distinguish between tap water and bottled water. I heard of a test in which different water bottles were filled with tap water from the same tap. Surprisingly, most participants thought they were drinking genuine bottled water and claimed that the (same) water from different bottles tasted different. That is nothing more than the power of suggestion. Unfortunately, our minds are being deceived not only by water bottlers but also by alternative medicine, psychics...
...best indicator of equipment-lust would be the top sites where people ended up after entering "iPhone" into their favorite search engine. A total of 56% of searchers landed on the Apple iPhone page or at AT&T's site; these individuals, like myself, probably just wanted the phone and wondered if it was worth the high cost.

...have identified Vitter's name through their own analysis of Palfrey's phone records. Flynt has a long record of exposing what he regards as "hypocrisy" on the part of politicians who tout family or religious values, while falling short in their own lives. Flynt recently placed a full page adverstisement in the Washington Post, asking, "Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" It went on to offer $1 million for documented evidence, and listed a toll-free number and an email address. On Tuesday afternoon...
...event at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center, an educational joint venture of the university with Johns Hopkins, the local papers put Hengli on the front page - the Modern Express even switching into English with a headline reading "Welcome". Why is Kissinger not simply welcome in China, but treated like a celebrity? Kissinger is naturally credited for contributions toward renewing US-China ties, and his personal relationships with Mao and Zhou mark him with greatness by association. Add to this the Chinese worship of academic achievement. The year I studied at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center, I was shocked by reaction...
