With Hull and Hynes likely to split the white vote, Obama would need blanket support from African Americans. But in seven years in Springfield, he was best known for passing ethics reform. The GOP majority hadn't made it any easier to pass social-justice legislation. Now Jones was in control of the body and its agenda. He picked Obama to steer and ultimately get credit for laws that passed in the second half of 2003 after years of demands by the black community: death-penalty reform, taping of homicide interrogations, fattening tax credits for the working poor...
Still, that doesn't make it any easier when you forget to pick up the dry cleaning or fumble to recall familiar addresses. The good news is, science is as interested in what's going on as you are. With better scanning equipment and knowledge of brain structure and chemistry, investigators are steadily improving their understanding of how memory works, what makes it fail, how the problems can be fixed--and when they...

Some conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh have urged Republicans in the remaining primary states to prolong the process by casting votes for Clinton, who they think would be an easier opponent for John McCain.

But all this has been upset in recent weeks: the Chinese government has mysteriously stopped issuing multiple-entry visas-an essential tool for Hong Kong...
...while “pop science” may be easier to read than research papers, these authors have found that the process of turning complicated scientific theories into digestible bits of popular science requires them to learn to write without jargon but also to avoid oversimplification. As the professors have learned, it is often difficult to strike the right balance between advancing science and popularizing...
