Our work took place in a setting where morale was high, curiosity was often rewarded with discovery, and surprisingly strong support was provided by civilian peers, military supervisors and elected officials. Thus, this book often presents an upbeat view of an otherwise somber mission. It frankly recreates the experiences of a psychiatrist who, with much help from others physicians, nurses and technicians, had the unique opportunity to build what eventually became a sophisticated research program. 

The benefits of some drugs, such as those to control hypertension or cholesterol, have effects only over decades, a time horizon far longer than that of elected officials who face higher health care costs but not some additional benefits over the run that is most relevant to them. 

A more balanced approach is to balance the added cost burden against the benefits of the new drugs.

Perhaps a major reason for not voting is the failure to convey that the right to vote is precious and unique and that each and every vote is important. The major effect is that we are voluntarily giving up our right as citizens to elect officials that truly represent us. If we have not done our part in choosing them, we are, in effect, telling these officials that we don t care enough to bother to vote. 

The FDA can establish priorities for kinds of issues, using risk (or other) variables to define levels of priority. This strategy makes good scientific and intuitive sense but is potentially compromised by differing agendas of media, the public, and elected officials. 

Over the past decade, elected officials, regulatory agencies, and the private sector have started to address many of the brownfields challenges with creative tools, allowing communities to move forward with redevelopment plans the following describes some of these tools.
