...tangle of well-meaning woolliness shrouding a party that traditionally attracts more than its share of affluent supporters in sandals and bicycle clips. In an hour-long town-hall meeting in a key Lib Dem target constituency, he uses the word fair 25 times. "If I hear him say again that a child growing up in one part of [the northern English city] Sheffield has got much better life chances than a child growing up in another part of Sheffield I think I might scream," says Jo Swinson, a Lib Dem MP.

An analysis published by University of Washington neurologist Henry Lai determined that far more independent studies than industry-funded studies have found at least...
...studies indicating that RF radiation may create a stress reaction in the cells that line blood vessels, leading to a dangerous breach in the blood-brain barrier. "Mobile-phone radiation may be able to indirectly hurt cells, perhaps by interfering with their ability to repair normal DNA damage," he says. "Given the scientific uncertainty, it's premature to say the use of cell phones is safe...
