When the first food pyramid--an easy-to-digest graphical hierarchy of what we should be eating--was introduced in 1992, it seemed broad enough to cover everyone. Since then, however, variations have proliferated: pyramids just for children, for vegetarians, Southerners, Native Americans, Italians, Chinese, Indians, Mexicans and so on. Dietitians have created for us a virtual Nile Valley of nutrition...
...fighting, but their emphases are a little different. Russell stresses that one must get vitamins, Lichtenstein that one must eat. They agree that the most intelligent course is to get the maximum vitamin and mineral intake you can from food--then use supplements. Name-brand multivitamins sold at pharmacies cover most of the shortfall...

The Conyers shooting was covered by Atlanta bureau chief Sylvester Monroe, Miami bureau chief Tim Padgett and reporters Tim Roche and David Nordan. The story was written by John Cloud, who did an amazing piece last July about what the various school shooters up to that point had in common. Our story on spotting troubled kids was written by assistant managing editor Howard Chua-Eoan, who usually edits our big news stories but occasionally feels compelled...
