CCLN charges that Cambridge violated an air pollution control plan under the Clean Air Act of 1970 that limits the increase in commercial parking spaces to 10 percent. CCLN--and the Environmental Protection Agency--say the city has violated that cap many times, meaning several of the newer commercial garages were built illegally...
Nonetheless, the new findings have intensified debate about whether diuretics should remain a first-line option for treating high blood pressure. Many doctors support continued widespread use, arguing that newer, alternative drugs are more expensive and that their long-term side effects have not been as well established. But others are pressing for more restricted use of water pills. At the least, say some, patients who have diabetes probably should not be taking diuretics...
...take pills than to give up steak and eggs. Yet taking drugs for a lifetime can have unintended and perhaps dangerous side effects. The well-established anticholesterol drugs, including cholestyramine and nicotinic acid, seem to be relatively safe, but they can produce such discomforts as nausea and intestinal pain. Newer drugs, like the heavily promoted lovastatin, may be better tolerated, but their long-term safety and effectiveness have not been established. Moreover, reducing cholesterol too far may carry some risk. Some studies, not yet confirmed, have shown a link between abnormally low cholesterol levels and increased danger of cancer...
...those eloquently clumsy speckled gray-and-pink shapes looked back to, one need only consult passages in Velazquez like the extraordinary plumage of the headdress worn by Queen Mariana for his formal portrait of her in the Prado. Yet not one of his painter-admirers has made Velazquez seem "newer," or in any significant way changed the address of his work.

He has garnered far fewer headlines than Giuliani, who made a name for himself with high-profile cases against Mafia chiefs and Wall Street cheats. Last week elated black voters were greeting Dinkins' victory with tears and shouts of celebration. But some had also already reined in their expectations about what any mayor, black or white, can achieve. "With the Dinkins victory, there is hope," says Utrice Leid, managing editor of the City Sun, a Brooklyn-based newspaper aimed...
