...imagine that it's a friend's birthday. You take her out to dinner or drinks, or invite a bunch of people over for a party. Parties, dinner dates and drinks are all lots of fun. But there are all sorts of fun things that you could do in addition, or instead. You could put a huge piece of paper on her wall and have people scribble things about her on it with magic markers, either while she's there or before she arrives, or make a collage of photos of her and her friends. You could take her "trick...
When tested on diabetic animals, the researchers found the inhibitor to be effective and non-toxic. These results were successful enough to warrant an initial ophthalmologic clinical trial, the results of which were first announced at last month's symposium honoring the 100th birthday of the Joslin Diabetes Center...
...rich. He's powerful. He's turning 28, and this week SEAN ("Puffy") COMBS, no fan of the small gesture, will throw himself a birthday bash of czarist proportions. To help produce a suitable invitation, he called upon such Puffy pals as Oprah Winfrey, CHRIS ROCK, Ben Stiller, ELLEN DEGENERES, SAMMY SOSA, Magic Johnson, Tommy Hilfiger, Will Smith, MARIAH CAREY and many others who no doubt saw the merit in assisting one of the decade's most successful music producers.

The final four years of his life brought a string of pictorial failures...
DIED. TED HUGHES, 68, British poet laureate whose reputation both waned and waxed as a result of his stormy marriage to tormented American poet Sylvia Plath; after an 18-month fight with cancer; in London. Blamed by many for Plath's 1963 suicide, Hughes earlier this year published Birthday Letters, a collection of intense poems that described his relationship with Plath. It helped clear the air and won him a torrent of praise. Acclaimed for his unsentimental poetry filled with violent images of nature, Hughes also wrote a number of poems and stories for children...
