HELMETS ON! Talk about headaches. Researchers have yet to prove it in humans, but a blow to the head of a pig may result in an injury that triggers brain lesions in the porcine brain that are remarkably similar to what's seen in human Alzheimer's patients. Though the findings are preliminary, they send a clear message: Watch out for speeding balls, swinging racquets and flying hockey pucks--and always wear a helmet when you ride a bike...
...also said you'd repeal the Clinton tax increases and expand the earned-income tax credit to reach more people. No disrespect meant to the office of the Governor of Texas, but to put it bluntly, How are you gonna pay for it, Hoss? If you did a little "blow" 25 years ago, that's your business.

The event itself is just a fund-raiser for the Iowa GOP, held...
PlayStation purists have already turned up their noses at Dreamcast. They claim that PlayStation II--Sony's next-generation console, expected in the fall of 2000--will blow it out of the water. So why bet a couple of hundred bucks on a minor-league player like Sega? Dreamcast, however, has a 12-month head start on PlayStation II. Past experience in the console market suggests that quality ultimately matters less than the ability to build up a loyal base of customers. So I resolved to give Dreamcast a chance...
