Rollins highlighted Rosenzweig’s research on economic development in South Asia. Rosenzweig has documented wage discrimination against female workers in India and the Philippines. His recent work has examined the effects of low birth weight on labor productivity and lifetime earnings. He is also co-principal investigator of the New Immigrant Survey, an $18.8 million federally funded effort to provide demographic information on immigrants who enter the U.S. legally...
...seemed plausible to many physicians that surgically removing belly fat by liposuction could give patients a double benefit: a slimmer physique and a better metabolic profile. That's why there was such disappointment with the news, reported recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, that unlike losing weight the old-fashioned way - by eating less and moving more - liposuction makes no difference in a person's biological risk factors. Researchers in St. Louis, Missouri, and Rome, Italy, conducted extensive tests on 15 obese women before and three months after they underwent liposuction. "We removed...
...muscular-dystrophy patients lies in getting enough of the hormone directly to the muscle. So Sweeney's group is perfecting a version of gene therapy, the most efficient way to dump a large amount of genetic material into a tissue as extensive as muscle (about 40% of body weight comes from muscle). He packs the IGF-1 gene into a harmless cold virus and injects the entire package directly into muscle. Once the IGF-1 gene inserts itself into the genome of the muscle cell, it begins to churn out the insulin-like growth factor that activates muscle expansion. Muscles...

In After the Fall, a revival of a 1964 Arthur Miller play and Krause's first turn on Broadway, he plays Quentin, a man whose two marriages break under the weight of the first wife's endless hectoring and the second's endless pill popping. Along the way, two characters commit suicide. As Quentin asks at the end of the first act, "Good God, can there be more...

And yet, these extremist clumps throw disproportionate weight in the public square. Dick Cheney appears on Limbaugh's show; Moore appears in Jimmy Carter's box at the Democratic Convention. But even if you generously double their numbers--as some experts like Andrew Kohut of the Pew poll do--that leaves 70% of the public unaccounted for. What...
