...clear how denosumab, should it win approval, would fit into the anti-osteoporosis market for treating postmenopausal women. Among these patients, the study suggests, the experimental compound would be slightly more effective at reducing fractures than the bisphosphonate drugs Fosamax (alendronate) and Boniva (ibandronate), but no better than Reclast (zoledronic acid), the once-a-year solution that doctors administer intravenously...
...could run against him in next year's GOP primary or steal too much of the political limelight until then. But he can still make a statement. The question is whether he wants to please the Republican Party's conservative base - the voters he apparently feels he needs to win Florida's closed primary - or appeal to the more centrist, nonwhite and nonmale electorate that the governor has made a career of reaching out to and that the GOP will need in the general election if it plans to climb out of the electoral crater it plummeted into...
...shame linger. But rather than centering on ethnic identity this time, The Eternal Smile's trilogy straddles the line between reality and fantasy. In its opening story, "Duncan's Kingdom" (previously published in comic-book form in 1999), a knight embarks on a dangerous mission in order to win the hand of his beloved princess, but along the way gets distracted - in a send-up of the grail quest - by the hunt for something called Snappy Cola. The second story, "Gran'pa Greenbax and the Eternal Smile," focuses on a miserly frog who must confront his thirst for riches when...
...Obama: "I think the whole election was a novel." The book includes some interesting musings from the then President-elect, who spoke to the authors six weeks after his win. Despite the challenges facing a young, black, first-term Senator wishing to be President, Obama said the outcome didn't surprise him. An early indication that he might be electable nationwide, he said, was his strong Senate approval ratings even in Illinois' rural, white, culturally conservative regions. "If I'm in a big industrial state with 12% African-American population and people seem to not be concerned about...
...Lowdown: The Battle for America was written by two traditional reporters with heaps of inside-the-beltway experience, and it shows. The narrative stays tightly focused on candidates and political issues almost to a fault - glossing over the broader cultural momentum that helped propel Obama to a decisive win. There is no mention of Will.i.am's viral "Yes We Can" music video that galvanized youth support, or of Shepard Fairey's ubiquitous "Hope" graphic, which lent the candidate street cred and fed the perception that he hovered above conventional politics. The authors mention Tina Fey's Saturday Night Live impression...
