...felt we had to keep [the Castano lawyers] because of Rodham" and his famous kin, said one of the attorneys representing the states. Hugh helped arrange some White House meetings for some of the negotiators with deputy White House counsel Bruce Lindsey and others. And the Castano group won a potentially lucrative provision in the $368.5 billion settlement that could have awarded them millions in fees from an arbitrator. Ultimately, Hugh and the Castano lawyers came up empty-handed after the settlement foundered on Capitol Hill...
...that allowed him to seize the presidency. He knew the incumbent, B.J. Habibie, was too unpopular to be re-elected, but he also knew that his former ally Megawati was not going to be able to get enough votes in the assembly to win.

Even as their Science paper appeared, other drugmakers indicated they were hot on the trail of the enzyme as well. And while Alzheimer's researchers offered the usual caveats, they seemed almost unanimously agreed that the identifying of the shadowy enzyme was not only a potential bonanza for drug companies but also the first really...
Perhaps the most appalled is Eat More, Weigh Less author Dr. Dean Ornish, one of the most respected of the low-fat, heart-healthy gurus and hence Atkins' natural enemy. "These books say you should eat healthy foods that won't provoke an insulin response, like bacon, as if insulin is the only mechanism that affects health," he says. "Most people eat so much sugar that when they stop eating it, they lose weight. But they're mortgaging their health in the process." Ornish, who has published studies in various medical journals, challenges the upstarts to do the same. "What...
