...escaped me, a registered nurse for more than 20 years, that the majority of patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses subscribe to the classic American diet. It is increasingly difficult to support diets that are meat, dairy and egg based. Scientific literature is full of reports by unbiased researchers not funded by any special interests who recommend little to none of these products. ROBIN KIRSCHNER, R.N. Olney...
...wrote a number of her hits, including the sexually brazen Dr. Feelgood, she also displayed brilliance in making other people's compositions her own, such as Curtis Mayfield's pop gem Something He Can Feel. Or listen to her 1971 gospel-charged take on the Simon and Garfunkel classic Bridge over Troubled Water. That water's a good deal more troubled when Franklin sings the song; even the bridge seems sturdier. She was the first female inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

The host is Oprah Winfrey, and she has been making that difference for millions of viewers, young and old, black and white, for nearly a dozen years...
...There is no popular need right now for multimedia. That's obvious," sighs Michael Joyce, the father of hypertext fiction--nonlinear storytelling in which plot lines unfold in different ways upon subsequent readings. Joyce, an associate professor of English at Vassar College, wrote the "classic" hypertext novel, afternoon, a story. The piece is told one screenful of text at a time; by clicking on adjectives and verbs, readers veer off in far-flung narrative directions. While this may sound like the same experience as following hypertext links around the World Wide Web, afternoon was written in 1987 and distributed...
