...First they had to be sure there would be no medical harm: removing breast buds, Gunther says, is a much less invasive procedure than a mastectomy. The hormone treatment was commonly used 40 years ago on lanky teenage girls who didn't want to get any taller. "The main risk," Gunther says, "is of thrombosis or blood clot, which is a risk in anybody taking estrogen. It's hard to assess in a young child because no one this young has been treated with estrogen." There were very few reports of thrombosis among the teenage patients, he says...
Sadly, though, the report is saddled with shortcomings. Among the combination of three main policies recommended, the suggested dialogue with the United States, Syria, and Iran immediately stands out.

Their problem will be to prevent their parties, which are still partly living in the past, from laying down...
