...neurons on the spinal cords of rats that seem to relay chronic pain, and deactivated them with the neurotoxin saporin. The result: quick and permanent relief of various forms of chronic pain. While it has yet to be tested in primates, researchers hope that this could one day spell permanent relief to migraine sufferers, arthritis patients and sufferers of backaches and creaky joints...
Parents have complained that the recent rave over the Potter books is nothing more than an evil curse, a sort of black magic that has cast its spell over fourth-graders everywhere. They argue that Rowling is promoting witchery (a bonafide religion in the United States) over good old-fashioned Christianity. You see, Harry Potter is no ordinary boy. He is a wizard-in-training, and in Rowling's books, there is a whole magic world out there which he inhabits. Except, of course, when he has to go home for the holidays...

I'm not sure which is worse--that or the fact that her own husband didn't even support her. The media chastised Dan Quayle for his inability to spell the word "potato." But then again, we've all become a little "Spell Check"-dependent. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has been criticized for his fiery temper. Gary "Family Values" Bauer has come under suspicion for spending time in an office alone with a young female aide. Pat Buchanan...
