Look at that unflattering brown spot on your cheek. It doesn't need to be there if you don't want it to be. All it takes is a little money, and a dermatologist's laser can zap it away in a flash. Last year, in fact, dermatologists performed about 60 million noninvasive antiaging treatments in the U.S. alone. But soon, thanks to a group of medical-device makers, you'll be able to remove age spots, zits, even wrinkles, without a dermatologist, without leaving your house. And if all goes according to plan, you won't even have...
...Broadway songwriting history, Brooks's simplistic tunemaking managed to stick in your head ("I wan-na be a pro-du-cer") in a way that richer and more ambitious Broadway scores don't. The numbers in Young Frankenstein seem more generic, off-the-rack items: a tongue-in-cheek buddy duet for the doctor and Igor, "Together Again (for the First Time)"; a Dietrich send-up for Frau Blucher, "He Vas My Boyfriend"; a predictable parody of '30s dance crazes, "Transylvania Mania...

The story is simple and possibly symbolic (more on that later). Sara goes on a rescue mission after she spies a mysterious black object in a shadowy apartment hallway.

In a separate word test, students paired a target word such as mouth with its best match: cheek, which is similar in meaning, or smile, which is similar in positive emotional content...
...people start out numb to it. I now teach Bregmans method myself. A client told me she had dreamed she was chained in the basement and chatting with Bob Barker, the game show host, when her son came down the steps. She gives him a little kiss on his cheek and he leaves. The belly button was being chained up in your own basement, but she wasn't able to feel it. I said to her, "Gee, you were chained in your basement. When your son came downstairs, why didn't you ask him to let you go?" For homework...
