...also said that even though Lopez Obrador drew most of his support from the poor and working classes, “there is a very good argument for Calderón’s approach” to helping the poor because inflation and sluggish economic growth often hurt the poor the most. This notion was seconded by Frankel, who said that “what Mexico’s poor most need now is what the rest of the country needs too: strong and sustainable economic growth...
...seen across most of the species that have been cloned so far--is a condition known as large-offspring syndrome. Those clones are born larger than normal and have trouble breathing in their first few weeks. Most of the surrogates that gave birth to them experience prolonged pregnancies and sluggish, difficult labors, which may have something to do with their distended and enlarged placentas. Some of Wilmut's cloned sheep were born with incomplete body walls, with muscles and skin around their abdomen that failed to properly join. Other scientists have reported abnormalities in kidney and brain function. In still...
...movie hit High School Musical, this one is an earnest, virtually all-girl story about a quartet who hope to win their year-end talent competition with a rendition of the Blue Hearts? 80s hit song that is this movie?s title.

Most Harvard students nowadays only think about parking in Harvard Square when their parents come to visit. Questions of traffic flow barely register in most undergraduates’ minds, and congestion affects only that small group of early risers from the Quad who endure a sluggish shuttle ride down a jam-packed Garden Street. As Harvard enrolled increasing numbers of students during the fifties, the need for space was not limited to additional dorm rooms. About one in 20 students brought a car to campus, aggravating already-worsening traffic problems in the Square. Furthermore, as the influx of cars increased...
