...Democrats and some observers have argued that the old strategy - that making the election about national security, a traditional G.O.P. strength - wouldn't work this time because voters have gotten wise to it and are generally fed up. But this morning's Gallup Poll numbers in USA Today suggest otherwise; Democrats may have reason to panic. Bush's approval at 44% isn't great, but it's a 12-month high. Still better news for the G.O.P. is the so-called "generic " - in which likely voters say whether they plan to vote Republican or Democratic in congressional races this fall...
...shoulder is set up differently than any other joint. Whereas your hip can be likened to a ball in a socket (a cantaloupe in a bowler hat seems more apt) your shoulder, bone-wise is like a basketball on a tea-saucer. It has very little mechanical stability by virtue of its bony architecture. In other words, it would be always dislocated were it not for the soft tissues that surround it. Your shoulder moves more widely and in more different ways than any other joint in the body, yet it's very strong. The design feature that enables these...

Because while they spend hundreds of hours a semester in the unflattering fluorescent lights of a lab or scribbling out equations on their so-called “midterms” that...
...good, the wise-guy observer thinks--The Bill Clinton Story at last comes to the screen. That notion is underlined by the fact that James Carville, Clinton's manic political operative, dreamed up the idea of making this picture and is credited as one of its executive producers. But the movie, All the King's Men, is not a cheesy, made-for-TV biopic. It is, in fact, a conscientious adaptation of Robert Penn Warren's 1946 Pulitzer prizewinning novel, which was also the basis of a much more rambunctious movie by Robert Rossen, which won the 1949 Best Picture...
...experts on nutrition and health agree that it's wise to consume a variety of fruits and vegetables and that it's particularly important to include such polyphenol-rich foods as red wine, green tea, dark chocolate and extra-virgin olive oil, in addition to berries and pomegranates. I like them all, but the question is whether any one source offers advantages over all others...
