...Chew Brew Peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon and other traditional stick flavors are old chew to the growing band of gumo-philes who prefer to make their own. Using a powdered gum base called POW!, combined with corn syrup, confectioners' sugar and just about any flavoring and color imaginable, chew-it-yourselfers can concoct a 25-ft. length of bubble gum from a $2, 2-lb. package of mix-about half the price of the manufactured product. Says POW! Entrepreneur Fred Starkey: "If scotch is your favorite drink, flavor it with scotch. If you like fruit cocktail, use that...
...movie fanatic. After 11:30 p.m., the television ether ripples with old, older and oldest movies. A good evening at home starts with a rapid scan of the good old New York Times T.V. section for cinematic gems and ends in the wee hours while I chew on unexploded popcorn kernels and await the closing credits. One vacation I spent four nights in a row watching Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers, doubles features.

I think it helps change your perception of money. I now feel less guilty when I spend, for instance." Trainees are given "treasure maps" and told to paste...
...differences." The shape of the pelvis tells clearly whether its erstwhile owner walked on all fours or stood erect. Teeth, which are frequently preserved because of their tough, protective enamel, tell even more. Animals that eat meat need teeth shaped to cut and slice; vegetarians need broad molars to chew their fibrous foods. Fossilized bones can indicate a creature's size and weight, just as the length of a thigh bone of a modern human can be used to accurately estimate his height. But often anthropologists must interpolate. Anatomists studying jawless skulls of Australopithecus robustus could not help noticing...
