Presumably, what makes political networks so pernicious is not their personal sex life, but the very real damage they do to their states in the form of myopic and self-aggrandizing lawmaking, incompetent appointees, and a perversion of our democratic institutions. ❋ Unknown (2010)

It skews consumption and investment in pernicious ways. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Progressives are too eager to believe that national health care will make it possible to expand coverage while reducing costs — reducing deficits, even! — apparently because all those costs are in pernicious “overhead,” which seems to be joining that political holy trinity “waste, fraud, and abuse.” ❋ Unknown (2009)

The most pernicious is Proposition 25, which is being sold as a good government measure to end the state's annual fiscal follies and pass a budget on time. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Lane suggests that idea of dramatizing this tale — “a low-grade musing on atrocity, garnished with erotic titillation” — was “pernicious from the start.” ❋ Unknown (2008)

Furthermore, the almost constant occurrence of achlorhydria in pernicious anemia, which appears usually long before the anemia and remains in spite of liver therapy, led me to wonder if this disorder of the digestive system had something to do with the condition which might be in the nature of a dietary deficiency disease. ❋ Unknown (1965)

In 1922 Whipple suggested that in pernicious anemia there might be a scarcity of material from which the stroma of the red blood cells was formed, or that there existed a disease of the stroma-forming cells of the bone marrow. ❋ Unknown (1965)

Dr. James Homer Wright taught me to appreciate the character of the abnormality of the bone marrow in pernicious anemia, which led me to believe firmly that something was needed to make the primitive red cells that crowd the bone marrow in relapse grow to normal cells; and that it was of no particular value to aim treatment towards stopping what has been called excessive blood destruction in this disease. ❋ Unknown (1965)

These two phases, occasional and clandestine prostitution, have always struck me as being far more pernicious from a social standpoint than public prostitution; although they do not make such havoc in the lives of the individual, since most of the women who follow these lines still retain their accustomed place in the social order. ❋ Madeleine (1919)
