Eating as much as an egg a day doesn't appear to increase your risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, according to a study published in last week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. That doesn't mean you should chow down endless servings of omelet, quiche and souffle, however. For one thing, many Americans like their eggs fried in butter or served with bacon, both of which contain lots of saturated fat, the ingredient that does the most to clog your arteries.

It's all needless...
...prison is it keeps things in perspective," says co-director Rideau, who is 57 and has served 38 years in Louisiana prisons on a life sentence for murder. "The award would be nice, but it won't change my life one iota. I will still walk down to the chow hall afterwards for my beans and rice." The Farm examines the bleak struggle of six convicts lost in a living graveyard where few ever get out. Rideau, who taught himself to read and write while on death row for 11 years, kept his story out of the film because...
