...relatively small amount of alcohol, the amount adults - mature adults, that is - might typically consume at dinner or in other social settings where drinking isn't the main event. Researchers tailored the composition of their cocktails - a mixture of medical-grade alcohol and limeade - to the participants' weight and gender, to achieve an average blood-alcohol content of .04%, half the legal driving limit in most states of .08%. Nixon was surprised by the results. "We often want to say that if we are below a legal limit, there are no consequences. That just isn't true," she says. Though...
...traditional U.S. insistence on a narrow, one-sided approach that focuses almost exclusively on free trade and the drug war." Like most Latin leaders, Lula wants Obama to lift the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba. And he is keen (he may be disappointed) to see the U.S. throw its weight behind a last effort to save the Doha round of world trade talks, which could offer farm-export nations such as Brazil new opportunities...

The narrator sneaks away from his friends and family to set traps “with fishhooks and string,” capturing a butterfly to bottle and bury in the yard as he listens to “the beat of its little heart...

...another competent intelligence service. An operative recently back from Iraq tells me that Kurdish political leaders systematically script telephone conversations among themselves in order to mislead the Americans, Iranians and Turks, who the Kurds know are listening to their phone calls. Since transcripts of these calls carry the weight of scripture in Washington, we risk being led into another intelligence failure in Iraq. For that matter, how do we know that al-Qaeda in Pakistan's tribal areas is not transmitting spoofed messages as disinformation, causing our Predators to strike innocent targets with the purpose of turning the locals against...
