He had shrunk 3 in. and was so weak, he says, "I could not sneeze without holding on to something." His doctors put him on Dendreon's experimental treatment Mylovenge, which required extracting dendritic cells from Omidian's blood, mixing them with molecules from myeloma cells and then returning them to the patient so they could deliver a swift kick to his immune system. Within two weeks, Omidian felt strong enough...
...results, however: Pledges were far more successful among 15 and 16-year-olds than among 18-year-olds. And perhaps unsurprisingly, the study?s authors also found that while teens responded well to being part of a group that took the pledges together, if the group grew or shrunk beyond certain points - and thus lost either its sense of exclusivity or a critical mass of peer pressure - the pledges were less likely to stick.

Meanwhile, the campaign replays in screaming miniature, the long race for the White House shrunk to fit in a shoebox. The sharpest, most dangerous legal brains on earth are folded up and stuffed into a three-block stretch of sleepy Tallahassee, borrowing strangers' desks, living on doughnuts, men and women who have negotiated treaties and broken monopolies and saved the dollar and brokered peace in the Middle East. "We win every day. We lose every day," said a top Gore soldier. "This place is totally rigged against us, and yet we are trying to do something no one has ever...
