...catching the cheaters will ensure that the playing field will be just a little more level. However, a great deal of focus on a few athletes’ ability to take advantage of the system undermines the accomplishments of clean athletes—whose hard work and steadfast discipline yield substantial performance improvements. Although the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has subjected athletes the most rigorous testing in history, making it more difficult for athletes in Olympic sports to cheat, newspapers filled headlines with the idea that this has not changed the problem...
...home, or the following day." Beranbaum recommends using a scale for measurement by weight rather than volume, which, she says, will ensure a more consistent result. She believes in taking some of the work out of kneading by using a mixer with a dough-hook attachment; this too will yield more consistent results. She's also a big fan of instant yeast, which, unlike regular yeast, gets added at the beginning with the flour and water to start the fermentation process. "Instant yeast is like a miracle," she says; it prevents the common mistake of killing the yeast by adding...

...Clinton implied that the essence of wisdom is being able to change, Bush has learned that for him, wisdom lies in knowing when not to. In foreign policy, he views resolution as a weapon: enemies will yield only if they conclude that he will not. At home he sees his constancy as a way to impress cynical voters and guide distractible aides. By Bush's math, you can change your tactics, but you pay a price for changing your principles and can gain capital by toughing out a fight, even if you lose. He cites the lessons he drew from...
