...marketing of ephedrine products at the expense of public health." By the time regulations were approved in May 1999, Archer decided to take no position on dosage limits. Such limits would imply that ephedrine products were safe at certain levels. But he did allow the industry to carry a label that warned about "exceeding" the recommended dosage, as if staying below it would not cause any problems to consumers. In fact, as Archer's aides pointed out in memos, 90% of the health problems reported in Texas have occurred after the consumer took the directed amount of product--or less...
...quite as safe as it used to be - and he's also in the uncomfortable position of advocating a form of government reform and privatization that will cost a bundle to implement. But Bush is trying to live up to his self-applied "reformer with results" label and accommodate the ghost of John McCain, who's with Bush on this one.

A new label in the works will help doctors select the patients best suited for the gene-spliced drug. --By Janice M. Horowitz...
...lumps of sugar. He's more polite than soulful. His album comes to life, though, with a rap cameo by Nas on the last track. Singer Carl Thomas' mostly agreeable album has a bit more "street" to it, perhaps because he's on Sean ("Puffy") Combs' Bad Boy label. His association with serial sampler Combs may also explain why the title track on this CD samples a hefty chunk of Sting's song Shape of My Heart. Like Puffy's best appropriations, it's a guilty pleasure...
