...which famously concluded in 2002 that long-term hormone replacement therapy does not protect women?s hearts after menopause. There are plenty of doctors, and quite a few patients, who are still trying to figure what that actually means.) Strictly speaking, the results do not apply to men, who tend to get heart disease earlier than women do and for whom a low-fat diet might be particularly beneficial. But this study has set the gold standard for diet studies in the future. Fortunately, there are enough research funds to continue following the WHI participants for another five years. Here...

Simon correctly faults Heritage’s numbers for comparing apples and oranges—the average income of recruits’ families versus the average income of all families, instead of just families with recruiting...
...Davos we tend to focus, and rightly so, on issues of global integration,” Summers said. “But I would suggest to you that issues of local disintegration—whether that means Flint, Michigan, whether that means failed states, whether that means struggling middle classes caught in binds everywhere—are of equal importance.” His mention of Flint was an allusion to the fact that General Motors laid off employees in that city during the 1980s and 1990s as the automaker shifted jobs overseas...
