While none of these potential solutions will be a panacea to all circulation problems, let me leave you with a little perspective. The Crimson's circulation department is a half-dozen full-time students who, in their spare time, oversee the door-to-door delivery of more than 5,500 newspapers every day. Few comparable college newspapers attempt anything on this scale. The Princetonian only delivers to subscribers and the Yale Daily News merely leaves a bunch of papers at a central spot in the residential colleges, in spite of both papers having a readership an order of magnitude smaller...
...good thing that has come out of all this is that doctors and patients seem more realistic about another diet pill, Meridia, which was approved after Redux was recalled. Most see it as part of a diet-and-exercise program instead of a one-pill panacea. And physicians are more likely to restrict its use to the truly obese...
...After just a few days, it is far too soon to tell whether Dr. Mahathir's desperate gamble will succeed or fail. The details of the plan have yet to be laid out, and those details will likely determine whether the plan is panacea or poison. Malaysian stocks tumbled on the news Tuesday, then lurched upward Wednesday as investors scrambled for bargains; the next few weeks will likely be turbulent as investors and speculators learn the ropes of what will be a very different Malaysia as far as outsiders are concerned. Inside Malaysia, Mahathir?s plan has already caused chaos...
This doesn't mean coming clean isn't the right thing to do--just that it isn't the panacea some make it out to be. Imagine if Clinton were to confess, reversing his finger-wagging denial and replacing it with a tortured definition of sex to help explain his earlier claims of innocence. Even if he said he did it to spare his family, the support he enjoys among a majority of Americans would sink like a stone. It's one thing to have an abstract notion that he actually had an affair and covered...
...miracle drugs. No wonder cures. No promises of panacea. The AIDS breakthrough announced Thursday in the journal Nature is a far more critical step: The decoding, if you will, of HIV's encryption key. For the first time, scientists have been able to snap X-ray pictures of what exactly happens when the virus that causes AIDS latches on to our immune cells -- and it's proving itself to be a more pernicious predator than anyone imagined. Dozens of spikes of protein stick out of its side, swathed in sugar so our antibodies won't be able to tell...
