Hillary Clinton, 74, said that she started wearing her infamous pantsuits in the 1990s after a Brazilian company used the image of her in a skirt for a suggestive lingerie advertisement. 'I was sitting on a couch and the press was let in, there were a bunch of them shooting up,' Clinton recounted on Sunday to CBS News host Norah O'Donnell when describing the moment the image was captured when she was still first lady. 'All of a sudden, the White House gets alerted to these billboards that show me sitting down with — I thought my legs [were] together,...

Even with the “we are the world” euphoria attending Barack Obama’s international tour last week, Democrats have reason to be worried. Europeans may embrace Obama like he’s a rock star, but unfortunately for them – and for his campaign – it’s the American voter who has the final word. And so far, despite the best efforts of assorted elites, the press and the citizens of Europe, he has yet to close the deal with the only audience that really matters. Even after showering American voters with some of the most dazzling political images ever featured in a presidential campaign, the...

Many Americans pride themselves on being discriminating foodies, avoiding excessive salt, sugar and fat. However, discriminating listeners we are not. We’ll scarf down anything as long as it sounds good or vaguely logical. The once straight-talking America prefers truth-lite, and we’re big into sound-bites. Spin is slathered on with a spatula to make less marketable concepts palatable, even tasty. Presidential campaigns gave our brain cells a vigorous workout that kept us intellectually fit. Candidates waxed eloquent, but astute voters knew candidates accentuate the positive and sweeten the poison. No more. Rudy Guiliani told us “illegal immigration isn’t a crime.” There...

DNA's simple and elegant structure — the “twisted ladder,” with sugar-phosphate chains making up the “rails” and oxygen- and nitrogen-containing chemical “rungs” tenuously uniting the two halves — seems to be the work of an accomplished sculptor. Yet the graceful, sinuous profile of the DNA double helix is the result of random chemical reactions in a simmering, primordial stew. Just how nature arrived at this molecule and its sister molecule, RNA, remains one of the greatest — and potentially unsolvable — scientific mysteries. But Vanderbilt biochemist Martin Egli, Ph.D., isn't content to simply study these molecules as they are. He...

When Nicholas Grunke last week spotted a newspaper photo of Laura Tennessen, the Wisconsin man apparently became so smitten that he plotted a rendezvous with the 20-year-old woman. But the photo Grunke saw accompanied an August 27 obituary of Tennessen, who died in a motorcycle accident. Undeterred, Grunke allegedly plotted with his twin brother Alex and a friend, 20-year-old Dustin Radke, to rob Tennessen's grave so that he could have sex with her corpse. Details of the trio's degenerate scheme are contained in a criminal complaint filed yesterday in Grant County Circuit Court. A copy of the document can be...
