...only with Bradman the man but with Bradman the cricketer - quite a feat considering The Don's record, which marks him as easily the best ever. Fingleton claimed that in a lead-up match to the Bodyline series of 1932-33, Bradman, suspecting he was to be the target of short-pitched bowling from England's fast men, beseeched the rookie Fingleton to shelter him when the pair were batting together. "These blighters are after me," Bradman is alleged to have said. "They intend to bowl at my head. Will you take [Gubby] Allen for me?" Bradman always denied saying...

And since many diseases are caused by a malfunction of specific genes, the ability to control their expression through RNAi has enormous therapeutic potential. "As soon as we identify what gene to target, our pipeline could be full of new medications for any number of conditions within a few months," says John Reidhaar-Olson, a genomics researcher...

They did not personalize or target their warnings. And, as they themselves admitted, they did not know if their warnings were necessarily accurate, due to the novelty and unpredictability of the crisis...

"From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others," said Doug Holtz-Eakin, a McCain senior policy adviser. "Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families...
