...demise of the quack-laden Office of Alternative Medicine, which seven years ago was foisted on the reluctant National Institutes of Health, largely at the insistence of Tom Harkin, the otherwise sensible Senator from Iowa who believes in the curative powers of bee pollen. Talk about getting stung. Taxpayers will be incredulous when they become aware that after spending millions of dollars in its first seven years "investigating" highly questionable alternative therapies, the OAM failed to validate or--more significant--invalidate any of them (with the possible exception of acupuncture).

...same could be said for the second game as well. While Dartmouth came back mad and played a little stronger, but the more the Big Green scored, the more Harvard stung right back. Again, after parrying early, the Crimson ran away with the 15-6 win. Both junior outside hitter Angela Lutich and freshman setter Mindy Jellin had long service stretches in that game to help the Crimson pull away.

...prepared to state that the big profits came only from the first cycle of theatrical and video release. But this suit was personal. Katzenberg often referred to Eisner as a father figure; Eisner had been his mentor for 19 years at Paramount and Disney. So he had to be stung by Eisner's offhand slur, in informal notes for an autobiography, that "I think I hate the little midget"--a remark notable not just for its animosity but also for its redundancy (a former English professor of Eisner's called the CEO to make just that point). The gibe, says...
