...Jackson insisted that Hart had been correct in ducking the adultery question. A candidate's morality, he said, should be judged by his stands on issues such as South African policy and the contras as well as bedroom behavior.

...cavalier attitude toward insider-trading laws. No one is really hurt by such abuses, they claimed. And besides, they complained, arbitragers, who buy and sell stocks on rumors of takeovers, often troll the gray areas of law. That is why it was perhaps only natural that Boesky's profitable relationship with Martin Siegel, the former co-head of mergers and acquisitions at Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc., began with the sharing of mutually advantageous information.

Said Robert Hiatt of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, who reported an alcohol-breast cancer link in 1984: "So far, this is an epidemiological finding that has been repeated, leading to concern. As yet, there is no linkup with biology." Indeed, even NCI's Greenwald conceded that alcohol may be less important than other risk...
