...smuggled out of London, a carpenter and a chef. Kaoru Hasuike, a law student, was abducted in 1978 along with his girlfriend Yukiko Okudo, then 22, while they were on a date. The North Koreans say eight of the abducted, including Megumi, are now dead. Most were in their 20s and 30s when they died, and North Korea claims each succumbed to either disease or natural disaster--two on the same day. Many Japanese are skeptical, believing the North Koreans murdered them to get rid of the evidence...
...20s, Alex buys and sells autographs as his vocation. His avocations include drinking and drugging to the point of blackouts, cheating on his girlfriend and infuriating his friends, who have arranged for him to say Kaddish (the Jewish mourner's prayer) for his father, in the hope of bringing him closure and ending his self-destructive behavior.

...does it better than Whole Foods. Its co-founder, Mackey, 48, is a six-time college dropout who grew up on TV dinners, got bitten by the health-foods bug in his 20s and built his business by combining the concepts of health-foods store and gourmet market. Mackey is the son of an accounting professor, and despite his left-leaning roots, he is a carnivorous capitalist. Starting with a single Whole Foods store in Austin in 1980, he took 12 years to expand to five outlets. But after taking his firm public in 1992, he steadily opened new stores...
...started tanning with baby oil when I was 13 because it was a cheaper and more efficient way to get a healthy glow than going out and buying that self-tanner stuff. I knew the sun was bad for me, but I kept at it well into my 20s before coming to my senses. Does this mean that if I develop wrinkles or skin cancer later in life, I can sue the sun? Or the companies that produce chemicals linked to ozone-layer depletion (and resultant higher UV levels?) Or maybe I should just sue my parents for not locking...
