...Case's timing was, in its way, exquisite. In these first trading weeks of the new year, Wall Street has given tech stocks a cautiously optimistic boost; analysts and investors, listening for the first footsteps of a recovery, are looking anew for winners in the post-bubble era. That we were no longer (or not yet) living in Steve Case's world of set-top universes and double-digit growth rates has been (painfully) obvious for two years. But somehow, it seemed important that Case, in deed if not in word, admit...
Ephron has imagined the two of them (Swoosie Kurtz, brittle and snappish as Hellman; Cherry Jones, elegant and withering as McCarthy) meeting in the afterlife, railing at each other anew. "I ruined your third act!" exults McCarthy. "I was your third act!" retorts Hellman. Ephron's play, alas, has two acts full of distractions and gimmicks. There are childhood flashbacks that force grown actresses to talk like widdle girls. The literary men in their lives (Edmund Wilson, Philip Rahv) are trotted on and off the stage like stuffed dummies. There are actual stuffed dummies too--a cutesy stage device that...

...MUCH IS ENOUGH? Sorting out the exercise debate can seem like a workout in itself. Anew study of 40,000 men finds that while "moderate" is good, "intense" is better. Men who ran an hour or more weekly were 42% less likely to develop heart disease--more than twice the benefit of walking 30 min. a day. Men who lifted weights cut their cardiac risk 23%. It may be best to pick up the pace and pump iron, but doing anything is always better than doing nothing. --By David Bjerklie...
