...heroin and similar drugs, but so far, none are particularly useful against stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamine. And with federal reports now showing that more than two-thirds of all cocaine in the country is cut with a veterinary deworming drug called levamisole, which can cause potentially fatal immune-system problems, the risks from cocaine are greater - and the search for new answers more urgent than ever...

Grabowski said the system “accentuates a two-tiered elderly health care,” in which people from lower income communities live in Medicaid-financed nursing homes, while those who can afford the costs choose assisted living—the favored type of care...

Some biologists suggest that punishers benefit from a boost in social status and are thus more attractive as mates...
Last week, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin added another irritant to the disarmament talks by claiming that America's planned missile-defense system was holding up the new treaty.

But intelligence gathering, in this case, didn't seem to be the problem. In fact, that system functioned exactly as it was meant to - indeed, perhaps too well. It's clear now that there were multiple signs in recent months that Abdulmutallab was a potential risk, but they were simply lost in the unmanageable flood of information the U.S. intelligence...
