...toasting the news too quickly. A group of researchers from Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging published a study in the online edition of Nature Wednesday which found that resveratrol, a chemical found in red wine, extended the lives of obese mice. The article elicited a wave of enthusiastic responses from medical experts and extensive coverage in national newspapers, many of whom were quick to draw a link between red wine and good health. But one of the paper’s senior authors and co-leader of the research, Harvard Medical School Associate Professor of Pathology...
...seem, Ortega, now 60, has reemerged as the frontrunner in Nicaragua's presidential race through his alliance with an unlikely chum, former President Arnoldo Aleman. The corpulent Aleman would seem to be the skinny Ortega's antithesis - an arch-conservative Somoza acolyte elected President in 1996 in a wave of nostalgia for the pre-Sandinista days.

That is one of the races that will help illuminate whether any wave this year is anti-incumbent, or just anti-Republican. The G.O.P. is also making offensive moves in New Jersey, where Tom Kean Jr. is profiting from corruption charges against incumbent Robert Menendez, and Maryland, where Republican Lt. Gov. Michael Steele is running on change against Democrat Ben Cardin, a 10-termer in the U.S. House...
