In the late '90s Abrams conducted a federally funded study to determine the safety of smoked marijuana in AIDS patients taking protease inhibitors.] At that time we could not use the federal government's marijuana to show that it might be beneficial because NIDA has a mandate from Congress that they could only supply marijuana for research to show that it might be dangerous, ...

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people...find a disorientating mismatch between the long-term nature of their liabilities and the increasingly short-term nature of their assets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people...find a disorientating mismatch between the long-term nature of their liabilities and the increasingly short-term nature of their assets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery is like friendship in show, but not in fruit]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46575]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Long-term rates are below the federal fund rate.
