...medical research community is fortunate that no one has been seriously injured by the rigged envelopes. The activists who hide behind the title of Justice Department may somehow be perversely satisfied to have given their targets at least a good scare, but once the novelty wears off, they should realize what a devastating blow they've dealt to rational discussion and action on behalf of animal rights...

And when it comes to the pathos of impossible expectations, there's never been anything like this: New Year's Eve Y2K. The millennium, baby! The expectations for this year's gala are pathologically high. An apocalyptically giddy time is expected to be had.
