Pentagon Ufo Report Videos Reveal Mysterious Objects That Baffled U.S. Military

The report was demanded by Congress after numerous sightings from the U.S. military of vehicles moving through the sky. UFOs, long dismissed and relegated to movies and science fiction, have begun to shed the farce label in recent years after the release of footage of high-profile U.S. military encounters with aircraft of unknown origin. Although widely anticipated, the Pentagon report isn’t likely to yield much conclusive evidence about whether UFOs exist....

Odyssey Of A California Girl

This probably isn’t what she had in mind. Last week the woman alleged to have had an affair with President Clinton remained holed up in her apartment at Washington’s Watergate complex, plotting legal strategy with her lawyer and shunning the hordes of reporters and camera crews outside.

Of Pygmies And Princes

The missive stands out for more than the unusual cargo it orders. It shows that ancient Nubia, spread along the Nile for 900 miles in what is now Sudan and southern Egypt, stood at the crossroads of the Bronze Age world, with trading and diplomatic relationships from Africa (experts believe that Pygmies lived then, as now, far south of Nubia) to the Mediterranean. Yet Nubia is seldom mentioned in the same breath with such powers as Egypt or Greece....

Off Label Prescribing In Pediatrics

That new indication followed studies that showed that Prozac was safe and effective for children with these disorders. But just because a medicine isn’t FDA approved for children and adolescents doesn’t mean that it isn’t safe. It simply means that the company that makes the drug has not applied for FDA approval for children and adolescents. Prozac had been safely used in adults since 1987.​ Off-Label Prescribing in Pediatrics Many drugs are not FDA-approved for use in kids but are still used “off-label,” meaning that they are used in children younger than the approved age or for other conditions that they are not approved for yet....
