"We've known for some time that good communication provides doctors with the kind of information that helps them diagnose and treat problems," says Dr. Dennis Cope, chair of internal medicine at the UCLA San Fernando Valley Program. But recent research shows there's another benefit: the better your doctor understands you, the faster you may heal.

What's hot? Satellite-phone guys roam the streets, charging a buck per minute of chatter. Satellite-dish salesmen line the highways from Jordan, hawking devices banned by Saddam.
