...biggest bug in the blue-pill program is its effect on the old ticker. Viagra was already known to clash badly with heart disease drugs such as nitroglycerin; now the researchers have anecdotal evidence to suggest that any cardiovascular complaint might put you in the danger zone. Pfizer's response? You're 2.5 times more likely to have heart trouble in the hours after sex anyway -- with or without the little blue pill. And since that hasn't stopped men so far, these latest warnings are hardly likely to deflate Viagra's sales figures: 3.6 million and rising...
...that standard is fuzzy and provides little guidance when the clash involves an assortment of eggs, sperm and wombs. When Marybeth Whitehead decided to back out of her surrogacy contract, the court ordered a custodial arrangement that amounted to parenting by committee...

So tender emotions are hidden, which makes their hearts ache all the more. The Clash's album London Calling contained one of rock's best love songs, Train in Vain, but it was hidden away, buried as an unlisted track. On this album the song Corazon de Oro gives us a brief glimpse into singer Armstrong's heart. "What have I become/ Now that...
