...does Jack inspire all the bile? It's not as if it were one of those seemingly hipster products that was actually created after much consumer testing by a conglomerate. Jack has a lovable indie backstory, starting out as one guy's website. In 2000, Bob Perry, a former DJ and station manager who had moved to Connecticut to be near his wife's aging parents, started fooling around with Internet radio. He got some cheap software that allowed him to randomize song order, causing "train wrecks"--ballads followed by headbangers. He put it up as jack.fm and slid...
...with one last sublime work. Saraband, the first film Bergman has directed for theatrical release in 20 years (he announced his retirement after Fanny), is a chamber piece: four characters, 10 dialogues. Yet Bergman, who turns 87 this month, gives the story such vigor and rigor, so much emotional bile and spilled blood, that it would shame a much younger director. Here is no mild afterthought to which a critic nods indulgently. This is a testament of love and anguish from the man who used to be called the greatest living filmmaker. Well, dammit, he was. And, as Saraband proves...
Welch had his own way with similes: he described people "like bottles walking; their heads as inexpressive as round stoppers. What if some god or giant should bend down and take several of the stoppers out? I thought. Inside there would be black churning depths like bile, or bitter medicine." But it is his wary view of the adult world that lingers. Even a Punch and Judy show has an ominous significance: when Punch "began hitting the baby with hard wooden thuds I felt its skull crack and knew that none of us were safe while grown-ups thought that...
Colon cancer has been linked to high-fat diets; fatty foods increase the production of bile acids, which may irritate the lining of the colon and trigger abnormal cell growth. This could explain why the disease is found less frequently among vegetarians and in countries where people eat less fat than typical Americans...
...Martin Lipkin and Harold Newmark at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, ten people with typical Western-style high-fat diets and family histories of colon cancer were given 1.2 grams, 1½ times the recommended daily allowance, of calcium, which acts to neutralize bile acids. After only two to three months, tests of their colon linings showed that the number of fast-growing cells associated with cancer had significantly decreased. More study is needed, but at least one expert has already urged adults to drink a quart of fat-free milk...
