...Monday in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a U.S. scientific journal, 17 London traders, aged 18 to 38, donated saliva samples over an eight-day period. Each time they did - once at 11 am, and again at 4 pm, book-ending the bulk of each day's transactions - the traders, dealing mostly in futures, recorded their current profit-and-loss standing. (They were also quizzed to make sure that nothing they'd eaten or talked about outside of their work was acting on their hormone levels...
Whether the rage was muted or explosive, Heston was surely a movie Colossus, made to be seen on the wide screens that proliferated in the 50s. Or, even better, on a tall one - the CinemaScope frame should have been stood on its side to do justice to his star bulk, physically and psychologically. Beyond the stupendous torso, he gave the impression of thinking out his dialogue before he spoke it; he was a pensive glamour boy. Like fellow postwar stars Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster, he'd tense his neck muscles and speak in a sonorous growl that brought authority...
...television circles in which finding the perfect accessory or a rent-controlled apartment might be considered central plot conflicts (I’m looking at you, Ms. Bradshaw). Despite how strangely relatable these series can be, it should be noted that they are far from being realistic.

...Obama did add his old hope riff at the end of a question-and-answer session later in Scranton, Pa., but it seemed an afterthought. The bulk of his presentation, especially the Q&A, was solid protein. He offered Hillaryesque, do-good details: If we return to the national obesity levels of 1980, it would save $1 trillion in health-care costs! He claimed that the mortgage-lending industry had spent $185 million on lobbying over the past decade, and Big Pharma had spent $1 billion. He gave comprehensive answers about trade, immigration and military procurement. He was detailed...
...three-game road swing that sent Harvard all across the country during spring break. Fatigue didn’t seem to be an issue for most of the contest, as a four-goal second-quarter output had Harvard up 6-3 at halftime. The Crimson led for the bulk of the second half, too, until Denver tied the game at 8-8 with 5:49 to play in regulation.But just over a minute later, junior midfielder Max Motschwiller emerged from a scrum in front of the Pioneer net and flipped a goal past Denver netminder Austin Konkel to give Harvard...
