...language is a powerful thing. The more we speak in the past tense, the more we feel as though our effort has ended. As president, Obama will need the coalition that elected him to help craft his version of good government. Democrats made tremendous strides with this campaign, but, if Obama voters tune out, the electoral landscape could shift back toward polarization and conservatism. Obama’s promises of health-care reform, economic recovery, and tactful foreign policy hang in the balance...
...taking a statin. Longer-term trials are still needed, however, to show whether the benefits of statins outweigh their potential side effects - the drugs are relatively benign, but they are known in rare cases to cause debilitating side effects such as muscle weakness (which forced Bayer to pull its version off the market in 2001). There was no increase in side effects among JUPITER's study group, but because the trial was terminated early, researchers don't know whether they would have seen more adverse effects later on. It's also not clear whether all statins can provide equal benefit...
More than 350 high school students representing 44 schools flocked to the Science Center for the first annual November version of the Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament last Saturday. In an attempt to draw more local students, participants were limited to those who attend a school within 75 miles of Cambridge and had not previously participated on a top-10 team at the February tournament, the main competition that has been held each year for the past decade. The competition involved two individual rounds, a team round, and a “gut round,” where teams work...

Finally in 1998 Iran said it would neither "help nor hinder" Rushdie's execution, and Rushdie resumed his version of a normal life: there was no obvious security at last week's event. But that experience allowed him to make a strong indirect point in favor of the new Institute. Conservative clerics and talk show hosts have complained bitterly at the way that secular universities treat religion - sometimes justifiably...
...Prehistoric Dog,” at least until around the mid-way point, when the guys in Red Fang suit up to do battle with their nemeses, a group of non-beer-drinking, role-playing geeks (who seem to be involved in a real life version of Dungeons and Dragons, or something equally cool). At this point, our aluminum-clad heroes rush down from above and land heavy blows on the role players—the dork playing the knight, for example, gets smashed with a hammer made from a five-liter keg can. But Red Fang hasn?...
