Researchers also reported that the new compounds bind the serotonin transporter with potencies similar to Prozac and other antidepressants...
When foods like turkey, bread and caramel are heated, proteins bind with sugars, causing the surface to darken and, in some cases, turn soft and sticky. In the 1970s, biochemists hypothesized that the same reaction might occur in the bodies of people suffering from diabetes, as excess glucose combined with proteins in the course of metabolism. When sugars and proteins bond, they attract other proteins, which form a sticky, weblike network that could stiffen joints, block arteries and cloud clear tissues like the lens of the eye, leading to cataracts. Since diabetics suffer from all these ailments, the biochemists guessed...
That's not the only trick that special-interest groups and rich people are using to stretch the laws intended to bind them. The result is an extravagantly expensive campaign season. While the amount that candidates for President and Congress will spend this year is estimated at $1.2 billion, the amount spent in other ways by the parties and special-interest groups may total $800 million more. There's no end in sight. Bill Clinton and Bob Dole both promised in their first debate that they would get serious about reforming campaign-finance laws, but they have studiously avoided...
...more logical solution to our bind would have transferred authority through the board. If Harvard really was willing to recognize the full powers of the board of trustees, it should have allowed the board, of which it is part, to work its magic. Recognizing that we are very much a part of the Harvard community, the board of trustees, once recognized and in full operation, could have passed a set of policies that would require PBHA programs to be in compliance with Harvard University standards in issues of safety, fiscal liability etc. Thus, Harvard could have the same assurances they...
...five years, the CIA has been running a modest mission to bind diverse factions of Kurdish and Iraqi dissidents into an opposition against Saddam Hussein. With Baghdad's re-entry into northern Iraq, that mission was obliterated. "Saddam has knocked out many of America's eyes and ears, and your good name was tarnished," says Professor Amatzia Baram of Israel's Haifa University, a leading Iraq expert. "U.S. credibility and reputation for protecting its friends has suffered a terrible blow." Even as the U.S. deploys F-117 Stealth fighter-bombers to temper Saddam's erratic outbursts, the CIA must rebuild...
