...there'd be no contracts or cancellation fees, to reflect the flexible, whimsical nature of kids themselves. Phone prices will range between $50 and $100, but how much families spend a month for service carried on the Sprint NEXTEL network is entirely a personal choice. The company expects to sign 175,000 customers in the first year...
...vote over unionization and instead mandates a “card check.” In other words, rather than having workers vote in a secret ballot monitored by the neutral National Labour Relations Board, a company would have to recognize a union if a majority of its employees sign a public card saying that they want...
...weeks of intensive training in "limited obstetrical ultrasound," practicing on pregnant women recruited from local doctors' offices and churches and by word of mouth.

"I can't tell you how many women...

But that number is meaningless unless you take into account the percentage of men in both groups who have heart attacks in the first place. If those people represent only a tiny fraction of the two populations, an improvement of 30% isn't much--maybe one heart attack fewer in a group...
