...wasn't a shock to anyone who knew Clinton's history and something about heart disease. "How could it happen?" asks Dr. P.K. Shah, director of cardiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. "Very simple: you cannot reverse a lifetime of heart-unhealthy habits by getting religion for a year...
...Clinton says he "aced" all his stress tests and had no major symptoms until last week. That's not unusual. According to Shah, in about 40% of cases, the first indication of heart disease is a heart attack or sudden death.

Our opposition to Soviet influence in Afghanistan led to the creation of the Taliban. In the process we aided and empowered Osama bin Laden. We have given uncritical support to Israel and as a result made a viable Palestinian state a virtual impossibility. We launched...
