Counting Candles Having recently celebrated the 7th anniversary of my 49th birthday (to count Gibbs' way), I can appreciate every single one of her comments about birthdays through the ages [Feb. 8]. Replace the 4 1/2 birthday party memory, however, with the one surprise party I ever had: twelve 12-year-olds hidden in our basement as I came home from the hairdresser, to celebrate my 12th. Gibbs paints so many perfect pictures, from the birth of a child with "no instruction manual, no warranty" to the middle-age years "when we are suspended between twin poles" of the needs...

The accident cast an instant pall over the Olympics and called into question the track's design. In the week leading up to the Games, many luge athletes openly wondered...
Elizabeth Fedorchalk was tired of being fat. She had been trying to lose weight since elementary school, but diets never made a difference. She wasn't husky. She wasn't big-boned. By age 16, the 5-ft. 5-in., 291-lb. high school junior from Holts Summit, Mo., was undeniably obese. And each year, it was only getting worse...
While it has long been known that the legendary Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen died at age 19 around 1324 B.C., the cause of his death has remained a mystery since his tomb was unearthed in 1922. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that King Tut most likely died after a severe bout of malaria and complications from a leg fracture.
