Beyond the shrill polemic Oct 30, 2007
One of my favourite emails from a reader told me, "I wish I was as certain of anything as you are of everything." The latter is far from the case, but it served as a salutary reminder that the certainty columnists are paid to produce can sometimes cripple public debate, alienating readers and reducing complexity to wittily phrased polemic. There's been evidence of that in the debate about abortion law reform. (Guardian Unlimited)
Raina: Deal or Democracy? Oct 28, 2007
What is salutary, however, is that both also believe there are systemic considerations that must not be overlooked. Conceding for the moment that the Indian and American states are constitutional democracies (there will of course be a spate of argument as to the democratic content of those constitutions, and about the equity with which that content operates among the polity), it must be noted that the idea of democracy obtains variably in the two democracies, owing largely to the variable...

"The extension of that fence for 854 miles across the smuggling corridors of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California will be a priority, and that, incidentally, will be one of my first initiatives as president. That, I think, will have a salutary effect on illegal immigration problem, as well as the crime problem in this country," he said.

Sick 'em, boys Sep 29, 2007
Sydney Morning Herald journalist Cynthia Banham's recent visit to her desk in the newspaper's Canberra bureau was a salutary reminder of the length of time it is taking her to recover from injuries she suffered last March in a Garuda Airlines plane crash at Yogyakarta Airport. Last weekend Mark Forbes, Indonesia correspondent for The Age and its sister paper the SMH, won an award for his professional and compassionate coverage of the Garuda crash, an event in which he was observer and...

Polly Toynbee: Where, Gordon, is the edge? Sep 25, 2007
This was more a steam-cleaning of New Labour policies, renewing what worked, building on went before - with many salutary reminders of how much good there is to be built on. His genuine passion to see every child gets a fair chance in life wasn't the usual perfunctory couple of paragraphs, now obligatory for Tories too, but his own solid core underpinning everything else he said.

When profit enters the front door; risk enters by the back Aug 7, 2007
Reminders are often salutary. The one administered to investors in late July and early August certainly rivetted attention and drove home the old messages that what goes up must come down, that diversity pays better than tunnel vision and that periodic profit taking is a good habit to cultivate.

Pay Democrats the Minimum Wage Now Jul 25, 2007
There is one place, however, where the minimum wage could have a salutary effect: among the Democratic presidential candidates who are paid by taxpayers right now.

Interleukin-1–Receptor Antagonist in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Jul 19, 2007
To the Editor: Larsen et al. (April 12 issue)1 describe salutary changes in many markers of inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with anakinra, an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. They report a significant difference in the glycated hemoglobin level at 13 weeks in the anakinra group as compared with the placebo group, but the mean end-point values in the two groups were in fact identical.

"After all, what could be more suicidal than Racine in the West End? In the event, the two French classics, like the Hare, were fantastically successful. Only Vassa never found an audience, and so we ended up with a small deficit. It was a salutary lesson in that it taught me it's much easier to lose money than to make it. But, with the Haymarket season, the hope is that we can break even if we play to 80% capacity. And the great thing is that I don't have to raise the money. I have power... (Guardian Unlimited)
Sicko's Bitter Pill Jun 28, 2007
Nearly 30 years later, as the sorry fate of Hillary Clintons universal health care proposals bear out, the average American still hears socialized medicine as socialist medicine, a holdover from 1950s Red-scaremongering thats entertainingly lampooned in Michael Moores flawed, vital and entirely salutary Sicko. As with all Moores movies, Sicko arrives in theaters laden with prior ballast, some of it engineered by the wide-eyed, who-me director himself. (LA Weekly)
Ghanaian Graduate Education Must Be Made Relevant Jun 24, 2007
Indeed, Professor E. A. Boateng may have departed for the other side of earthly existence and reality, but it was not before leaving in his dour wake, a new breed of equally vindictive professors and lecturers who would rather gloat in the fact of brazen intellectual sadism than the salutary production of psychologically empowered graduates poised to shepherding Ghana into twenty-first century socioeconomic and cultural development.

SNP twists and turns to let Salmond sidestep defeat May 31, 2007
The machinations around this issue represent the first real foray into the "new politics" of minority government, both for the Executive and for the opposition, and it has resulted in a salutary lesson for both. Although Mr Salmond has escaped defeat this time, he knows he faces a more damaging defeat on the trams and the rail link, when he eventually does bring his plans before parliament. (Scotsman)

Alternatively, they could also deliver immune-stimulating substances that would mark the tumor for the body's own immune-defense mechanisms and induce a salutary immune response.

After Abbott made its announcement, an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, known for its business-friendly stances, said that "In the long run, Abbott's withdrawal may have a salutary impact if it demonstrates to Thai officials and other governments that they will pay a price for stealing intellectual property". But let's face it, the real price here will be paid not by the officials or the government but by the Thai citizens who badly need these drugs. (Nature News Service)

Utility Deregulation Revisited... Still a Bad Idea Mar 15, 2007
Electric utility deregulation and the war in Iraq have much in common: both are irreversible mistakes with no salutary options in sight -- only less bad ones. In response to the current debate in my home state of Connecticut, where a five-year experiment in industry restructuring has not gone well, I have proposed one less bad approach to get some of the toothpaste back into the tube.

In addition, it would also introduce the welcome and salutary stimulus of competition for value and benefit into military medicine.

Poor tribute to Anne Frank Mar 4, 2007
" Who better, indeed, than the country whose State Department, with the blatantly anti-Semitic Breckenridge Long in charge of immigrant visas, continued to turn away Jewish refugees long after the truth about the Nazi solution to the "Jewish problem" was documented in intelligence reports. Some of Anne's surviving relatives, as well as many historians, cite the fact that her chosen identity was Dutch as a reason for not granting her U.S. citizenship today. Born in Frankfurt, she confided to her... (Newsday -- Opinion)

Gene-test law is more likely Jan 30, 2007

Among French sociologists, he alone disputed the notion that the 1968 uprisings that destabilized France had given a salutary bounce to the march of history (toward communism).

Democrats face budget challenge Jan 19, 2007
That is the choice offered by George W. Bush and John Edwards, the North Carolina Democrat whose left-of-center presidential candidacy will have the salutary effect of challenging Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton to respond with their own specifics. Edwards' ideas on the budget have the additional virtue of reminding us that the argument over arriving at a balanced budget by 2012 is largely phony. (Buffalo News -- Opinion)

So it's more than salutary, at this time, to hear once again, with such clarity and feeling, Miller's great challenge to that narrow definition of where duty lies, a challenge that is perhaps even more significant now, after another 60 years of booming private affluence in the West, than it was in 1947. Meanwhile, in Inverness, the Highland 2007 Festival opened last Friday night with a riot of street theatre which succeeded in demonstrating - among other things - that despite the cancellation of...

A grain of truth in cycle of evaporating votes Jan 11, 2007
Just before Christmas, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) issued a report about the status of the Australian grain crop which offered a salutary warning to a smug government and a gee-up for a resurgent Labor under new management.
