Once upon a time, a trip to the grocery store was a simple, almost mind-numbing task. These days, shopping for dinner and translating myriad food labels begs a Ph.D. in biochemistry and a solid background in current affairs. And Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture decided to make things even more interesting, issuing its long-awaited approval of irradiation technology for meat. That's right - in roughly 60 days, there will be a new label to inspect at your local market: The "radura" symbol will adorn meat that's been zapped by gamma rays - much in the manner...

His beliefs mirror a standard anarchist line: Autonomous government, yes. Private property, no. Would he commit acts of violence to further them? In some cases, Lincoln allows...
...over to see what all the commotion was about. My colleague--exhausted and overworked--had misread the label on a bottle of medication and administered a drug that paralyzed a patient, stopping his breathing. Fast thinking and the quick application of an antidote saved the patient's life. But it was a close call...
