...these are just the folks who work here. Don't forget that Harvard also attracts stars from around the world who come for just a visit. In February, for example, news of Barbara Streisand's visit to Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government made the front page of the New York Times. And speaking of Kennedys, John F. Kennedy Jr. is a frequent visitor to the school. The fellows at the K-School's (as it is called) Institute of Politics often include famous politicians and luminaries on the rise...
Patricia Thomas, 56, of Baltimore suffered nearly five years with hot flashes, night sweats and sleeplessness. Estrogen completely halted her symptoms and made her feel "wonderful." Barbara Williams, 47, of Chicago was so irritable, she says, that "my family would hate to see me coming home from work." An estrogen patch (plus progesterone pills) evened out her moods.

When estrogen is in short supply, memory and thought processes can suffer. Psychologist Barbara Sherwin at Montreal's McGill University has studied the effects of estrogen therapy on women who have had their ovaries removed and thus produce very little estrogen of their own. She found that women who were given injections of estrogen were better at learning and recalling pairs of words than those given a placebo. The effect...
...variety that varsity gardeners are demanding. But at the same time, they can reach out to the rookies, who would like a complete garden in a can. "If you look through garden catalogs, or even retail displays sometimes, you will see companies that actually package gardens for them," says Barbara Newton, publisher of Organic Gardener, the largest gardening magazine in the world, with 800,000 subscribers. "It will say, 'If you buy this whole set it will give you a 14-ft. by 22-ft. garden to go in front of a shady wall. You will have color throughout...
