...Which leads me to the section of the book that's gotten the most attention so far. In Chapter 5, you say Democrats "choose only messengers whom we're not allowed to reply to. That's why all Democratic spokesmen these days are sobbing, hysterical women. You can't respond to them because that would be questioning the authenticity of their suffering." As an example, you cite the Jersey Girls, four World Trade Center widows who argued for the commission to investigate 9/11. Then you directly question the authenticity of their suffering, saying they are "reveling in their status...
...presidential nominee should not support the use of unemployment to combat inflation, should not support a foreign policy of military intervention, and should work as energetically to defend the consumer and the workingman from their corporate predators as to protect the vitality of American industry. Democrats who respond to the “mandate” of the 1980 election by scurrying to the right will probably find their jobs taken from them by identical-looking Republican challengers in a few years. Jimmy Carter lost because he failed to define how he differed from Reagan’s blatant appeal...
...three-member panel heard her case, and then ruled that indeed there was evidence of gender discrimination. Others have suggested prejudice against junior faculty and intellectual bias played parts in the denial of tenure.

...glucose, then storing it as fat. Now surrounded by a constant source of food and living a less active lifestyle, people born with that genetic pedigree are perfectly primed for diabetes. "It's not simply that Western food is causing diabetes but that different body types, influenced by genes, respond to the same food differently," says Dr. William Hsu of the Joslin Diabetes Center. With no famine, these genes continue to convert food into glucose and fat. Excess glucose levels build up gradually in the blood, and insulin, which normally keeps glucose levels in check, can't keep up. After...
...order to be considered for the award, students must have been nominated for the annual Hoopes Prize, which recognizes exceptional academic work or research. Wobber’s thesis adviser, Richard W. Wrangham, who is Moore professor of biological anthropology, introduced Wobber to research that found that dogs respond better to human signals than chimpanzees do. For instance, if chimpanzees see a human pointing to one of two bowls and are asked to select which bowl is more likely to have food, chimpanzees pick the wrong bowl as often as the correct one, Wrangham said. However, dogs who were involved...
