Those who have seen me lately may have noticed the absence of glasses. Yes, I know my photo with this column is without glasses. We tried versions with and without glasses, and I liked the without version better. I started wearing contact lenses in my 20s. Back then the lenses were rigid and covered the entire cornea. Adapting to them was a painful process. As lenses improved, they were made smaller and more flexible. Because of my astigmatism, I was never able to wear the soft lenses, but the g...

But the company has already announced plans to appeal, which could tie up the money for years. Meanwhile, addiction counselors worry about when their clients might g...

During the seven week trial, state prosecutors who sought up to $17 billion described J&J as a "kingpin" in an epidemic that's killed more than 400,000 Americans since 2000.
