...their calcium intake from about 1,000 mg a day to at least 1,200 mg. That's a lot. An 8-oz. glass of milk contains about 300 mg, an equal amount of yogurt the same. Hard cheese and calcium-fortified orange juice are helpful, as are soft-shell crabs and the bones of small fish. The general rule applies here too: consume as much calcium as you can through food, but for many it is hard to eat sardine skeletons daily, so it's O.K. to use a supplement for a little help...

And they note that rural, pro-gun districts have more clout in the House. Then there's the N.R.A.'s well-funded PAC and its soft-money donations.
