...there are few restrictions on food ads, but that's not the case in the U.K., where junk food can't be marketed on children's television. "There is only one [children's] cereal brand in the U.S. that would be allowed to be advertised on TV in the U.K., and that's Frosted Mini-Wheats because of the amount of fiber," says Jennifer Harris, who spearheaded the Rudd research...
...Americans spend more time reading e-mails than they do with their spouses. E-mail has become, he argues, "our electronic fidget." In his history of mail from cuneiform tablets to the Pony Express to Gmail, Freeman traces how far the epistolary form has come--and lays out a case for why we should take a step back.

From this latest book, I appreciate my Pulitzer in advance...

The city also likes to root for its own, so much of Pugh's narrative resonates with a certain segment of this city's electorate. The political newcomer won the primary election last August by more than 10,000 votes, beating the incumbent city council president. "Detroiters are so thirsty for leadership," says Mildred Gaddis, a popular Detroit radio host and one of the most astute observers of the region's politics...
