...been unable to handle. U.N. troops are routinely asked to plunge into chaos--Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo, East Timor. Annan isn't opposed to these missions. He has the courage to order the U.N. in wherever it is needed. But he has nightmares about trying to contain some of the world's most evil men with the resources of a local sheriff's department. He has tried that before: Rwanda, where 800,000 Tutsi were slaughtered by rival Hutu tribesmen; Srebrenica, Bosnia, where 8,000 Muslims were killed by Serbs. It wasn't only the U.N. that...
Whatever lead paint is left in the house has been painted over. There may be some lead leaching into the water from old plumbing joints, but we drink mostly bottled water. And we don't often burn candles; some wicks contain lead that can reach toxic levels. The biggest source of lead here is Rachel's stained-glass studio in the basement. But Brennan declared himself "wickedly impressed" by the exhaust fan, respirator, fume collector and gloves Rachel uses when she works...
THIS ONE'S FOR YOU Nobody is saying drinking beer will cure what ails you, but surprisingly, researchers have discovered that the hops in beer contain potent antioxidants known as flavonoids. These free-radical fighters were already known to be present in red wine, but it seems beer might be an even better source. Alas, achieving maximum health benefits would require a bit more chugging than most folks would like--up to hundreds of pints daily. The solution? Researchers hope ultimately to capture the brew's benefits in a pill...
Like vitamin A, vitamin E is found in several forms, with alpha-tocopherol being the most biologically active. Because alpha-tocopherol isn't terribly stable, however, most cosmeceuticals contain derivatives. Although some of these compounds are converted to the active form in the skin, it's unclear whether they have an effect. Even if you find a cream with alpha-tocopherol in it, there's no definitive word on how strong it should be, according to Dr. Karen Burke, a dermatologist who consults for L'Oreal's Helena Rubinstein division. However, Burke's experiments with mice suggest that vitamin...
...meantime, follow these commonsense rules: Stay out of the sun. Cleanse and moisturize your face every morning and evening. Often that's all you need to do to plump up those keratinocytes. If you have sensitive, dry skin, avoid products that contain vitamin A or hydroxy acids. Don't smoke. Use hydroxy acids sparingly. Whatever you do, don't get obsessive. There are worse things than sprouting a few crow's feet or age spots. Just remember that nobody ever died of a wrinkle...
