Reporting in the New England Journal of Medicine, Harvard scientists found that women who had beef, lamb or pork as a daily main dish ran 2 1/2 times the risk of developing colon cancer as did those who ate the meats less than once a month. One surprise: eating dairy products, which also tend to be high in animal fats, did not appear to increase the disease risk. The conclusions are drawn from a study of 88,751 nurses that was begun in 1980. The women filled out diet and medical questionnaires and were resurveyed at intervals over the next...
...population these days. Federal dietary guidelines recommend reducing fat to no more than 30% of calories. In particular, people are urged to eat less red meat and more main courses lower in fat, such as chicken and fish. The merits of such a plan were borne out in the Harvard study: the more poultry and fish in the nurses' diet, the lower their chances of getting colon cancer. Women who consumed skinless chicken two or more times a week had half the risk of those who ate it less than once a month. "The less red meat the better," says...

We can talk disinterestedly about the merits or follies of Bush's gulf policy as long as we do not have to go to war.

This situation is too grave for one person to take us into it alone." Laurence Tribe, Harvard's famed professor of constitutional law, agrees with this. Tribe dismisses as a "smokescreen" the Administration view, put forward by Secretary of State James Baker, that presidential consultation with Congress would be a legally sufficient substitute for a formal declaration of war. "The structure and history of the Constitution," Tribe contends, "make clear that...
...bread, spoiled milk," fumes Peters. But Dumas, with its emphasis on bootstrap help, is light-years ahead of most black public schools in the U.S. "There are several hundred black schools in Chicago alone, and most of them are still doing terribly," says Gary Orfield, a visiting professor at Harvard's graduate school of education...
