Oh, I could give you the footnotes if you really wanted them. Footnote 179 kicks you back to footnote 149, and that gives you this:

>>As sociologist Troy Duster has noted, "We can and should refer to race when we consider it as part of a complex interaction of social forces and biological feedback loops." n149 Duster cautions, however, that "it is also a mistake to uncritically accept old racial classifications when we study medical treatments. The task is to determine how the social meaning of race can affect biological outcomes." n150 The story of BiDil is a story of the failure of a wide variety of actors - from medical researchers to federal regulators to drug company executives - to heed Duster's warning.<<

The numbers in brackets are page numbers. That's the way Lexis-Nexis and WestLaw both do things. Page numbers are important in law review articles, because law reviews are edited by law students who get onto law review via their grades, then become law professors who train more law review students so they can edit more law review articles written by law professors. Footnotes are even more important. Last time I checked the record number of footnotes in a law review article was more than 2000, but that was sort of an inside joke.

Edit: no, I stand corrected. The world's record for footnotes in a law review article is 4,284. This guy looks like a laugh riot.

I think lawyers are more likely to use suspenders than belt loops.
