There's a hitch. The people who successfully overrode their genes were burning a stunning 900 kilocalories more per day than their less active counterparts, which amounted to three to four hours of moderate exercise daily. "That's a lot," acknowledges Rampersaud, who tracked participants' physical activity for seven days using accelerometers. By contrast, the volunteers in the "low" activity group were doing about two to three hours of gardening, housework or brisk walking each day. That's the kind of activity many people in the general American population - which, unlike the Amish, relies on cars and dishwashers and washing...
...that John McCain is a patriot. They could rally to the conservative dog-whistle of low taxes and free enterprise. They could match the audacity of hope with the audacity of a thrice-married New York City mayor pretending to be horrified by the "cosmopolitan" Obama. They've won seven of the past 10 presidential elections, and as battered and tired as they are, they still know how to get up for the championship game...

That would make it the deadliest strike since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001. (The U.S. military plans to join the Afghan government...
...that the revolution in precision-guided weapons hasn't been matched by the quality of intelligence needed to drop them in the right place. "Technology has leaped forward, but the ability to know precisely who's at your target hasn't," says HRW's Garlasco, who spent nearly seven years plotting targets for the Pentagon. The military sometimes launches air strikes based on tips from Afghan tribesmen, some of whom are not above using American firepower in their own feuds. For some observers, the surest way to improve the quality of intel is to put more Americans on the ground...
