Scientists still do not know, for example, whether Alzheimer's kills nerve cells (neurons) and whether it does so from the inside out or outside in. Supporters of the first scenario believe abnormalities in a protein called tau cause neurons in the brain's memory centers to clutter themselves up with tangled filaments, bringing cellular metabolism to a standstill. Still others think the damage is dealt by an external agent: the so-called beta-amyloid protein that aggregates in the brain, forming fibrous plaques. These plaques in turn injure neighboring neurons, causing them...

It is not unreasonable, however, to foresee a dismal scenario: spending cuts come nowhere near matching tax reductions; the deficit mushrooms; a panicked bond market raises interest rates; the higher rates cause economic growth to slow, reducing tax collections even more...

It would be safely detonated as he would be hailed a hero who saved the lives of hundreds...
