Lung cancer is deadlier (it killed 150,000 Americans in 2000, vs. 120,000 for COPD), but COPD is more common--by a long shot. Some 13 million Americans suffer from COPD, nearly 40 times as many as have lung cancer. In fact, this "other" lung disease--a condition that includes more familiar illnesses such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema--is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S., after cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and stroke. The number of deaths due to COPD has nearly doubled over the past two decades, and the most dramatic increase has occurred...
...Beanpot gives students this opportunity. Sure, the game is not Red Sox vs. Yankees. But the product is still high-quality baseball. I bet students would jump at the chance to watch fellow Harvard students take a shot at the Green Monster. The problem is that no one knows...

Perhaps not, but it is a reminder that the question of why Jesus died requires some sort of response from anyone who reasons...
...closer “Canada vs. the United States” was a confused but somewhat amusing rendition of an event Drew swears “is going to happen sooner or later”—an apocalyptic showdown between the two leading superpowers of North America. If Drew and his band of compatriots are going to lead the charge for the Canadians, they need to focus on tightening up their potentially devastating lightning offensive, otherwise their blitzkrieg push will collapse under its own weight, as it nearly did during parts of this show. A lot is riding...
...crop of bad action films will feature slightly fewer movies with a “II” or “III” after their names. There are new installments of Spider-Man, Harry Potter, Shrek and The Bourne Identity on the way (not to mention Alien vs. Predator, which makes me wonder when Alien and Predator will face off against Jason and Freddy), but there is also a lot of big-budget product which should be perfectly craptacular despite not being a sequel to anything—among them Catwoman, I, Robot, Van Helsing, The Day After...
