...measure calorie [intake] precisely enough. [It's hard for people to track their portion sizes to the gram, or even be sure of exactly what they're eating, especially if they ever eat out.] But in recent five-year feeding study in monkeys - they're animals so you can control their diets - the monkeys on the high-trans-fat diet gained more weight. They gained about 7% of their body weight over a five-year period, compared to the monkeys on a low-trans-fat diet, who gained about 1.5% of their body weight over five years...
Beyond the Court, the next President will also control the EPA, an agency that under Bush has been almost wholly defanged: that much became clearer on July 11, when the EPA released a 588-page federal notice rejecting federal regulation of greenhouse gases - essentially ignoring the Court's 2007 ruling. The agency claimed that greenhouse gas regulation would lead to too many job losses, and found it wasn't clear that global warming poses a threat to people's health. Given enough time, environmental groups would almost certainly sue to reverse the EPA's ruling, but with the Bush Administration...
...help. After all, the revelation that Clinton had been forced to loan herself $5 million before Super Tuesday spawned a one-day record-breaking online haul of $10 million for her campaign.

...private vehicles will be permitted to drive only on alternating days. Although police cars, emergency vehicles and taxis will be exempt, the government estimates that up to 50% of Beijing's 3.3 million vehicles will be cleared from the streets. "By July 20, not only the traffic control will be at ... full scale, [but] all the other controlling measures should in place," says Zhu Tong, an environmental-science professor at Peking University. "With all these controlling measures working at the same time, I am confident that the air quality in Beijing should be significantly improved...
...that the coalition is to blame. Most Afghans waver between believing the ISAF is working against the country's interest and believing that there are just not enough coalition troops to get the job done. And most Afghans have a hard time believing that the ISAF can't control rising prices for food and fuel. They've seen or heard of laser-guided missiles falling from American warplanes with mythical precision, taking out Taliban caches while schoolrooms or hospitals immediately adjacent stood unscathed. And so, as popular Afghan logic goes, the only conceivable reason the ISAF hasn't swept...
