...where do I fit in? For six weeks, I'm in many ways experiencing the life of a French student. I live in my own apartment, attend classes taught in French, and have to fend for myself with budget shopping at the Monoprix. With my daily baguette and block of brie, I could almost pass for French (until I open my mouth...
...Angeles during the worldwide Great Depression, could aptly be referred to as the hard-luck games. No other city even bid to host the Games, and fewer than half as many athletes took part in the Games as had participated in 1928. U.S. President Herbert Hoover didn't even attend the Games. That clearly didn't matter, however, to Alice Eileen Wearne, who ran the 100-m dash but did not earn a medal.

...During those same 10 years, researchers have made extraordinary progress in understanding the physical basis of addiction. They know now, for example, that the 20% success rate can shoot up to 40% if treatment is ongoing (very much the AA model, which is most effective when members continue to attend meetings long after their last drink).

It turns out that this is just about how long it takes for the brain to reset itself and shake off the immediate influence of a drug. Researchers at Yale University have documented what they call the sleeper effect--a gradual re-engaging of proper decision making and analytical functions in the brain...
