...that long ago, doctors and patients viewed medical tests the same way military officers think about radar. By providing an early warning of a potentially deadly threat, the tests open up a critical window for averting disaster. Just because a little information is good, however, does not necessarily mean that more information is better. Physicians are starting to have at their disposal a whole new panoply of advanced tests that provide more detail about what is going on inside the human body-often down to the molecular level--than ever before possible. Yet as Jernberg discovered, such tests can warn...
Unless the President succeeds in his attempt to co-opt parts of the Republican agenda, he will be left with merely peace and prosperity. The first seems almost irrelevant. Foreign policy probably won't be high on the electorate's radar unless something catastrophic happens, in which case the G.O.P. is likely to benefit more than Clinton.

...Rumors swirled that she was in prolonged post- electoral shock, that she didn't understand November's results, that she was in denial, that she was rethinking her role as First Lady. But there was no self-doubt in the Hillary Clinton who charged back onto the political radar screen in a four-day media blitz last week. Though there were subtle signs of an effort to retool her image, she came across as cheerful, confident and as proudly unapologetic about her role as ever. The Republicans? Let her at 'em. She told a sympathetic crowd after accepting an award...
