First, Ojemann tested his patients' verbal intelligence using a written exam. Then, during neurosurgery -- which was performed under a local anesthetic -- he asked them to name aloud a series of objects found in a steady stream of black-and-white photos. Periodically, he touched different parts of the brain with an electrode that temporarily blocked the activity of that region. (This does not hurt because the brain has no sense of pain.) By noting when his patients made mistakes, the surgeon was able to determine which sites were essential to naming...
Then it occurred to me: I've become so conditioned by packaged candidates and manufactured candidacies that I generally view a politician negatively if he doesn't conform to this norm. As Brown spoke, his disorganization soon gave way to a comfortable stream of messages. So what if he had no introduction? It didn't matter--Brown needed no gimmicky anecdote (like Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton's one about the cab driver) to start his speech. He spoke directly to the audience and his face revealed startling sincerity...
...unity with sometime rival Judd Gregg, Sununu's successor as Governor and a leader of the local Bush organization.

...cargo planes began delivering 300,000 lbs. of surplus food to Moscow and St. Petersburg last week, adding to the stream of emergency supplies pouring in from the West. Such timely help will certainly be welcome, but it cannot solve the long-term problems of a country that simply did not learn how to feed itself during seven decades of communist rule. Nor can it ease the bitterness of many citizens who, though they never enjoyed abundance, remember how they once lived in a superpower rather than a patchwork quilt of fledgling states reduced to begging for help. If Yeltsin...
Over the next few months, four drug companies will introduce similar versions of the transdermal nicotine patch, a palm-size circular envelope that, when applied to the upper arm or back every 24 hours, releases a steady stream of nicotine into the blood. A study in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association found that the patch, when administered with proper counseling, doubled the odds that smokers will successfully quit over a six-month period. "It's a major breakthrough in medicine by any measure. It could save thousands of lives," said Dr. Jack Henningfield, chief of clinical...
