...Quit or Not to Quit I'm glad Hillary Clinton comes from a family in which quitting is not an option, but forging ahead without integrity is simply wrong [April 7].

Tsvangirai, 56, became accustomed to responsibility at an early age. The son of a carpenter and bricklayer from Gutu, south of the capital, Harare, and the eldest of nine, he quit school early to work the nickel mines of Mashonaland in northern Zimbabwe.

The Crimson refused to comply with the subpoenas because it said compliance would compromise the newspaper?...
...cigarettes, including nicotine, alter the normal growth and development of cells in the lung. That could lead to improved and individualized smoking-cessation drugs and programs, which are currently successful only 25% of the time. "It could be that we need to tailor how we get people to quit," says Amos. For some, behavior modification may be sufficient; perhaps others will need targeted nicotine-blocking drugs that can fight any genetic bias toward addiction...
