...recent years, some nutritionists have advocated diets high in fruits and vegetables containing carotenoids--substances that act as antioxidants by sopping up free radicals and carrying them out of the body. But antioxidants have an uneven record. In some studies they seem to be associated with a dramatic reduction in cancer or other diseases; in others, some antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, actually seem to be associated with an increase. In either event, few contemporary aging researchers think self-medicating at a salad bar is the best way to extend the human life-span. Far more promising might...
...Artist wanted to release more than one CD a year; Warner Bros. thought that would dilute his work. The company also released two CDs of Prince material against his will--The Black Album (1994), a sharp-tongued CD that parodied rap and that Prince had famously shelved; and the uneven Come (1994), a collection of outtakes.

Its entire budget came from black male investors inspired by the march's message of self-reliance. Says...
...students in classes. Aside from the domineering and negative presence graduate students foster, a mixed classroom such as I have described is not effective because graduate and undergraduate students have different goals, different experiences; they are at different points in their lives and in their education. There is an uneven flow of information and knowledge, only because age dictates it. In my experience at Harvard, graduate student presence intimidates undergraduates, dominates the forum of open discussion and wastes $30,000. Let me add here that "primarily for undergraduates" seems to be a relative phrase for some faculty members...
