Previous studies, mostly in the Pima Indian population, have shown a link between a mother's diabetes and obesity in her children. Hillier's study is the first, however, to suggest that treatment of the disease eliminates risk. In her analysis, Hillier found that children born to women with the highest levels of blood sugar were no likelier than other kids to become heavy if their mothers had been treated for diabetes during pregnancy...
Amanda Ripley was right to suggest that we need to develop a new mind-set about maintaining our infrastructure [Aug. 20]. The question is, How? Let's look at how all transportation tax monies the Federal Government has collected for the past 10 years have been disbursed, including the pork and earmarks that had been allocated before the balance was dispensed for transportation. Then we'll see who the real culprits are. Surely, our country would be better served by such accountability...
That may be, but the reshuffle might not help his government hold onto power. The most recent opinion polls suggest that the opposition Civic Platform, a center-right grouping ostensibly more friendly toward Europe and business interests, would take first place in an election with more than 30% of the vote, vs. 17-24% for the Kaczynskis' conservative Law and Justice Party, which has dropped 10 points in 12 months. Many in Europe have greeted that prospect with relief, but it would be foolish to count the twins out. And even if the Civic Platform wins, it may not produce...
...often emphasized the disastrous ramifications of failure and the potential glories of victory, they no longer hold the same currency with a war-tired public. So, given how low support for the war is, why not add the specter of Vietnam to the costs of defeat? And why not suggest that victory in Iraq could help expunge the indignity of America's loss in Vietnam? Petraeus and Crocker will say what they will regardless of Bush's assertions, so raising the rhetorical stakes in the hopes of bolstering political support ahead of their report is the only card Bush...
...statements, 11 weeks apart, are extravagantly dissonant. The first is typical of the woman the world thought it knew. The second sounds as though it had wandered in from some 1950s existentialist drama. Together they suggest a startling portrait in self-contradiction - that one of the great human icons of the past 100 years, whose remarkable deeds seemed inextricably connected to her closeness to God and who was routinely observed in silent and seemingly peaceful prayer by her associates as well as the television camera, was living out a very different spiritual reality privately, an arid landscape from which...
