...could get. While McCain says he is running "because I owe America more than she has ever owed me," Bush sometimes seems motivated by a need to redeem his father's defeat. He keeps bringing it up in a way that suggests it has been his life's deepest wound. Last Wednesday he said that Buchanan's 1992 candidacy had had a role in derailing his father, and suggested that Ross Perot carried a "vendetta" against his family. In McCain's story his father comes across as a source of humility and as inspiration for public service. Bush...
Even setting aside the hucksterism, laser surgery is hardly a risk-free procedure. Lasers work by emitting a powerful beam of light that vaporizes skin. Though some newer lasers can skip the top layer, or epidermis, penetrating to the lower dermis to kill abnormalities and hair follicles, lasers "wound" the skin to some degree, and healing can have complications. Long-term effects can include pigmentation changes in the skin: patients with darker complexions, such as African Americans or those of Mediterranean origin, are especially susceptible to skin lightening.

In five years we may even have home lasers for facials.

Prior to the switch, these investors had beaten the market by more than 2%. Overconfidence may explain why they traded more aggressively online and wound up trailing the market by more than...
...early 1970s, Bradley traveled to Missouri to test the political waters. The state's Democratic machine offered to back him for state treasurer, but he turned the offer down; he wasn't interested in dues paying. As his Knicks career wound down in 1977, Bradley began preparing for a '78 Senate run from New Jersey, where he and Ernestine had moved a few years before. He was a celebrity, but he didn't have strong ties to the state's Democratic Party. "Bill was always in the party but never of the party," says Senator Robert Torricelli, who succeeded...
