...candidate. That's one reason why AFL-CIO president John Sweeney had no problem last week calling for a ban on soft money. Most of the union cash in the last election went for issues ads, which a soft-money ban won't reach. McCain-Feingold may try to restrict those within the last month or two of a campaign, but any such limits would be sure to face a Supreme Court challenge...

Until now, the solution was a heart/lung transplant, which has a high mortality rate. Batista suggests constricting the pulmonary artery to restrict the amount of oxygenated blood flowing back into the lungs, thus enabling the lungs to relax and heal themselves.

An astonishing thing happened during the debate over a bill to ban partial-birth abortions, which has no chance of actually becoming law, and wouldn't result in even one less abortion even if it did. Alarmed to learn of the many third-trimester abortions performed after six months, under milewide exceptions for vague reasons of mental health, Democratic Senator Thomas Daschle introduced a bill that would have banned all abortions in which the baby...
