Tuberculosis vaccine found to be effective against Alzheimer’s. It seems, to the degree that it’s effective at all, to be more prophylactic than a cure.
Bob Zimmerman has a year-end assessment. I expect next year to be a very exciting one, perhaps the most so since 1969.
I agree, women should be able to try this if they want.

The problems pointed out by the IG go far beyond “errors” and “sloppiness.” It was a fraud on the court, in order to set up innocent people. And who knows how much more of it has been going on? At a minimum, Flynn’s conviction should be overturned.
