...Some of the registered dietitians trained the old-fashioned way, saying you have to have 50% carbohydrates. The government is always behind. The next update will probably correct that." And it's hard to dispute people like David Kirsch, a New York City celebrity fitness trainer and diet guru (among his clients: Ivana Trump), mostly because he's really big. Kirsch makes a lot of protein drinks and lectures strongly against processed foods. "I have converted most of my 300 clients into not eating bread," he says. "In the long haul, you can deal with not eating any bread...
...sure, Falwell has changed more in style than substance. "Compassion" is in vogue among conservatives, but it sometimes doesn't mean much. On Saturday, Falwell called for "compassionate conviction," a sort of religious counterpart to Republican candidate George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism." But Falwell and Bush both believe employers should be able to fire people just for being gay. Neither wants gays to be able to marry or adopt children. And Falwell, at least, believes sincerely that gays can change into straights. Indeed, he hopes his softer words will allow that message to meet less resistance...
...Rocha has a lofty goal as a lyricist: "I try to write songs that engage people in a critical dialogue about fighting for and among dispossessed peoples around the world."

Whether or not modern man acknowledges having some Neanderthal genes, there is ample evidence that cannibalism, a horror of history, has been widely practiced among many past populations and in the present era for reasons of war, traditional rituals, famine and possibly, at times, convenience or even preference. So why knock Neanderthals for gnawing neighbors? If a Neanderthal could comment, he might protest, "Hey, we're only human!" KATHRINE E. BOBICK Lake Katrine...
Hughes says he didn't see Jesus beckoning at the end of a tunnel of white light (although he claims to have seen Death opening his mouth). I would like to ask if he also didn't see Christ among the Aborigine family that found him, the Bidyadanga people who chanted to keep him alive, the Filipina nurse who wept for him, his friend Danny who raced to save his life, the police and the medics who got to the scene, the medical personnel who decided to fly him to Royal Perth Hospital, the people who operated for 13 hours...
