...thing, both the slaves and the slave owners are long since dead, and you can't repent for the sins of others. And even if you could, our legal system recognizes that repentance without compensation serves only to make the apologizer feel good while doing nothing for the victim. It's why the U.S. government not only apologized but paid $20,000 apiece to Japanese Americans who were sent to concentration camps during World War II. And why Germany not only apologized to the Jews for the Nazi Holocaust but sent more than $60 billion in restitution. Mr. President...

Flinn's behavior was not only shameful but, since she was a military officer, less than honorable as well. Marc was brought up to know right from wrong, and as parents...
...some respects Redux has been a victim of its own early success. The first new antiobesity medication in more than 20 years, the drug enjoyed one of the fastest launches in pharmaceutical history. Both the FDA and Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, which markets Redux, knew about the possibility of brain damage at high doses. But they also knew people who are morbidly obese--individuals who weigh 30% more than average--face even greater risks that they will die young from heart disease, diabetes or stroke.
