The 465-page study details how the U.S. military mistakenly poisoned its own soldiers with two chemicals during Operation Desert Storm, leading to a number of debilitating symptoms - from chronic muscle pain and digestive problems to memory loss and persistent skin lesions - now collectively known as Gulf War illness (GWI). Worse still, the panel found that millions of dollars in funding for GWI research had been misappropriated, despite the fact that the illness afflicts nearly 25% of the 700,000 soldiers who fought in Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia 17 years...

...completely not the point. At a time when characters on the hit teen TV shows can be ostracized for wearing last season's designer shoes, we have no idea what Bella wears besides blue jeans and T shirts. We barely know what she looks like beyond her fair skin, though we know every detail of Edward's luminous looks. She is brave and loyal but not rich or cool, and yet she is the object of passionate devotion by the hottest boy in school - who, as it happens, must exercise constant self-restraint around...
