This provocative book explores chronobiology, the science of body time. It is a brand-new discipline that asserts that you must adjust the care of your body to coincide with your natural clock. In that way, say the authors, you can determine the best time to take your medicine, exercise, have sex if you want to conceive, prevent jet lag and the like...
...candidates do when presented with a gift horse? They dismember it and sell the pieces for votes. And that's exactly what Al Gore plans to do Tuesday, when - hot on the heels of Republican rival George W.

...gimmick? Because even in money, there is no such thing as a sure thing. How we feel about what we carry in our pockets says an awful lot about what we carry in our hearts and our minds. Last year a coalition of 11 European countries rolled out a brand-new currency called the euro.

Continental bankers hoped the euro would compete with the dollar as an international currency of choice. Instead, the euro...
