...Angell, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine and author of The Truth About the Drug Companies. A better drug, she notes, could be defined broadly: fewer side effects, easier to take, longer lasting, more effective in a subset of patients. Such a policy would not only speed vital information to doctors, it would also spur drug companies to focus on creating truly novel medications rather than minor variations on existing themes, what many researchers call "me too" drugs. "The pace of innovation has been slow," says Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, chairman of the psychiatry department at Columbia University...
...skimped on a height-adjuster for the seats. Rear visibility is fine with the roof down, but when it's up the glass rear window provides minimal views. The cockpit feels sports-car Spartan; our test car featured a two-tone "sand-and-steel, " design scheme, with a five-speed manual shifter (don't ask for an automatic, Pontiac isn't making one).

While the vehicle cornered adequately, thanks to the rear-wheel architecture, it did not feel nimble. Perhaps that won't be a deal...

It’s as if the College is a train conductor who receives word that the rail bridge up ahead has collapsed, but rather than switching tracks, decides to ride full-speed-ahead over the edge, warning other trains by radio on the way down into the fiery abyss. Well, maybe not exactly like that, but something like that anyway...
...being the street-smart guy that I am, I shrieked. Suddenly I was faced with a glowing image of a guy who was so excited about student checking that he looked like he’d been strung out on speed for at least a week...
