...health in a trivial or stigmatizing way, remind them that mental illness is a serious issue that affects everybody. Hundreds of Harvard students live with mental illness; you or a loved one may suffer from a disease that others may, in their ignorance, attempt to render funny.

...these resolutions arrive surprisingly late, as the league has already begun to take responsibility for the declining health of its players. When Mackey’s wife, Sylvia, wrote last May to then-NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue about the financial burden that can result from the rapid decline of retired players’ health, the league and the NFL Players Association responded by creating the “Number 88 Plan.” Named after John Mackey’s jersey number, the plan will pay up to $88,000 for each former player’s treatment...

The result is a tantalizing product of Tamborello’s off-kilter ear, not mere luck of the draw...
...personal genome project” succeeds, which it appears well on track to do. The project is an offshoot of the Human Genome Project (HGP), a massive effort to determine the sequence of the human genome, that is, the 3 billion base pairs of DNA in human cells. The result of that effort was a consensus of many individuals’ genomes, and because the genome is nearly-identical among all humans, it was enormously useful for scientists to have any idea of what the “average” DNA sequence...

"We've made a very forthcoming offer to partner with the Russians," he said Monday. "We've invited them to come see our interceptors at Fort Greely, Alaska. We've invited them to come see our radar in California. We've even offered, if appropriate, to co-locate radars with them and share data."
