...take that on now in a way that would have been impossible without the Stanley grant.” The money will be donated over a 10-year period to fund research into the genetic causes of psychiatric disease in hopes of discovering viable targets for drug therapy in millions of patients.

Scandals there - one involving Colombian senators allegedly in league with drug-trafficking paramilitary armies, and another implicating Guatemala's national police in the murder of three Salvadoran congressmen - are another harsh reminder that, despite what so many in Washington seem to think, elections alone don't constitute a democratic society...
