...seaboard—from Delaware to central Florida—the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, as well as more of Alaska, to drilling. This near-sighted plan endangers the environment while also doing little to advance the United States’ goal of energy independence. The research necessary to pinpoint tracts of oil and natural gas suitable for drilling is incredibly invasive; for example, the process often disrupts whale migration because of sonar equipment. Such research will likely drag on for 10 to15 years, while destroying precious ecosystems...

In the age where the specific virtues in our morals are increasingly harder to pinpoint, in our sports there exist infinite bests by infinite definitions.

Now the governments of those countries are promising swift investigations into the matter, while...
Harvard Medical School Professor Jon Clardy teamed with researchers in the department of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology to pinpoint the amino acid proline—a component of hemolymph, or insect blood—as the trigger for the transformation of roundworm bacteria from dormant to virulent, eliciting comparisons of the bacteria to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...
