...EMGs and NCVs (electrical nerve tests) could have been justified as well considering the weakness - or what seemed like weakness - of Tim's calf muscle. These rather unpleasant examinations measure the electrical activity in nerve and muscle. The torn calf muscle would hurt to use and so would appear weak. And its reflex would be inhibited by the pain and swelling, further implicating a nerve issue. Certainly one could justify these tests as well by the findings on Tim's exam. Right...
...final questions should be second-nature to Kerry, a long-time member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.Like advertised, the Kerrys’ book is a fine complement to the work of Gore: it provides a broader discussion of environmental issues and makes a stab at solutions, albeit a weak one.

Yet we found ourselves under assault from the commanding general and the ambassador, men who insisted that the U.S. and its Saigon ally were winning. They said we were spreading...
