...Another area where we see higher death rates among men is among the depressed - especially older men. If they attempt suicide, they are more likely to succeed than women...
...hard to see why the the GOP has latched onto gas prices as a lifeline in an otherwise hostile political environment. Polls show it is the one area where it runs even with, or anywhere close to, its Democratic counterpart, on the issue of which of the two parties would better handle the economy.

Kangerlussuaq lies so far north that the sun never really sets in the summer, as I discover during a somewhat sleepless night. And the climate here is anything but Arctic. In the heat of the sun, temperatures exceed 70?F, and I shed layers of fleece as I take a jet-lagged walk around town. Not that there's anything to see: Kangerlussuaq didn't really exist until the Americans began using it as an air base in World...
