The judges seemed to agree with this decision. Antoniu smiled for the first time and called the meat “just right” and Rosen called it the “best beef so far.” Host team HRCSA prepared...

John Adams, risk expert and emeritus professor of geography at University College London, was an early skeptic of the seat belt safety mantra. Adams first began to look at the numbers more than 25 years ago.
