...Most physicians also acknowledge that more frequent monitoring is likely more accurate: doctors take only one or two blood pressure measurements a year, when patients come into the office, but those readings can be influenced by a patient's stress or tenseness in the doctor's office (the "white coat syndrome"), and blood pressure can vary from day to day or even during a single day, depending on what a person is experiencing. "If somebody comes in and tells me they rushed in because they were late, and their blood pressure is high, I give them a pass," says...

...have changed that much during my time here, Harvard itself has changed. I happened to see a girl in a kind of cute outfit. It matched. It was sort of inventive. It had nice shoes to go with it. Another day, I saw a girl in a positively gorgeous coat. Even the men seem to have improved. I even saw one in a well-fitting shirt—a big improvement!
