"One of the challenges of this research is teasing out which symptoms are associated with menopause and which are simply the result of aging," says Dr. Carol Mangione, the UCLA professor of medicine who led the NIH panel. The point is, if you need relief, hormone replacement is worth considering. It's best to start with as low a dose as is effective.

Oppenheimer’s final downfall began when President Eisenhower restricted his access to classified information. Strauss orchestrated a three-member AEC panel to determine whether Oppenheimer should be allowed to retain his security clearance. The “Chevalier affair,” the Tatlock tryst, and Oppenheimer’s old Leftist connections resurfaced and torpedoed his chances at swaying the panel.

In the name of academia, this should be expected...
