...signed a law banning certain types of gifts to doctors and requiring the industry to disclose any others over $50 in value. Harvard has convened a 19-member committee made up of representatives of its medical school, affiliated teaching hospitals and research institutes, and the student body to review its pharma policy, though the university is hedging on whether it actually plans to change the way it operates. "We cannot speculate on the outcomes of the review process" is all a spokesman is willing to say. And as of Wednesday, Pfizer had apologized to Grassley for what it called...
...fair president takes to the pages of The New Republic this week to review a new book by James M. McPherson, the "dean of Civil War historians," she says. (A reassuring description.

The chances of subduing it today are even more remote. "Obviously, we're not going to invade Pakistan," said a senior member of the Riedel review. "We have to convince the Pakistanis to do the job. But we haven't had much luck with that in the past." In fact, the Pakistani army and Inter-Services Intelligence agency have supported the Taliban as a counterforce against India's influence in Afghanistan, just as they supported jihadi...
