The state of the heart. If you thought cholesterol was all you had to worry about, better think again

As recently as five years ago, doctors thought they had a pretty clear picture of what causes a heart attack. They saw it as a plumbing problem: too much fat in the diet builds up in the blood vessels that feed the heart, creating stoppages that starve the heart of oxygen. It was an elegant model and one that patients could understand. But it's not that simple. Cholesterol, it turns out, is just the starting point of a cascade of interlocking events. Underlying the new research presented at the American Heart Association meeting last week was a clear message: this isn't your father's heart disease anymore.     

Life,Liberty, and the Pursuit of Anyone Who Gets in the Way: Lessons from a Comparative Analysis of U.S. Militias and Ulster Loyalists

This article presents a comparative analysis of the militia movement in the United States and the two major loyalist paramilitary organizations in Northern Ireland. The comparison reveals a similar history of economic transition that highlights the need to consider occupational factors in assessing the causes of violent extremism. The article reflects further on the evidence of a number of other similarities between the two groups: the preeminence of historical narratives, the tendency toward militancy and violence, and localist, antigovernment ideologies. It is argued that these similarities can be similarly understood within the same economic framework, and suggests further research in similarly comparative contexts would reveal greater insight.

The relationship between agricultural and industrial growth,with special reference to the development of the Punjab economy from 1950 to 1965

This paper examines the fundamental issue of intersectoral dependence, in the context of the growth of Punjab's economy. It is divided into two sections. The first section analyses the basic nature of the agriculture‐industry relationship. Particular attention is paid to the role of the marketed surplus. The second section examines Punjab's experience, both in the light of the analysis of the first section and as contrasted to the experience of India as a whole. Certain distinguishing features emerge which help to explain the success of Punjab's development, and provide conclusions about the importance of sectoral interdependence in economic development.
