LAST WORD Coming up with six vegetables that begin with the letter C can be tricky, especially if the clock is ticking. As in Scattergories, players try to rattle off words within a category that begin with a given letter. The twist here is that a buzzer sounds at random intervals. The goal is to be the last player to chime in successfully. If you're the one who screams "Celery!" just before the buzzer, you win the round...
DIED. EUGENE LANDY, 71, psychologist-guru who treated the depressed, drug-addled Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson with a controversial round-the-clock form of therapy that spurred the musician's comeback in the early '80s; in Honolulu.

For every 100 odd impulses our male brain yields, there will be one impulse that leads to a creative, sensible result. Like my Latin teacher always used to tell me, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Our testosterone-soaked brains have done this world some good over the years, and I have no doubt that this will continue. Who do you think invented the internet? Some guy whose testosterone-soaked brain drove him to create the information superhighway so that...
