Meanwhile, the dietary-supplement industry got into the act after it discovered that Chinese red yeast fermented on rice contains small amounts of the same active ingredient found in lovastatin (Mevacor). The FDA tried to ban the supplement's sale in the U.S., but the action has become the subject of a lengthy court process. The controversy hasn't stopped Merck, which manufactures Mevacor and Zocor, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, which produces Pravachol, from arguing that they should be allowed to sell their pharmaceutical-grade products at similarly low doses to the general public...
...members in exchange for not being disciplined by the university. The sorority still has no black members and is not required to accept any. Out of about 1,000 applicants this year, Barge says, the freshman was the only black. Because the sorority uses campus facilities, it is subject to the federal law that prohibits racial discrimination in higher education.

This is a show about failure. Necessarily so: its subject is the fallacies and delusions of human hope. Utopia has never existed.

Whenever Gore brings up this subject or Social Security or any threat to the elderly, he's accused of scare tactics. I should hope...
...anyone had thought and that human pollution is a substantial cause. Gore pledges a remarkable $171 billion in tax credits and subsidies over 10 years to wean us off our reliance on oil and gas and get rid of polluting factories. Bush--who knows or cares nothing about this subject--finds it convenient to deny that people have anything to do with pollution and wants to solve our oil problems by drilling on pristine lands. In a major speech this week, with swing states like Michigan in the balance, Gore plans to say, "Environmental protections will be at the core...
