Women of my generation have to thank Britney Spears for at least one fashion coup: she has given the country amnesia about how we dressed as kids. Blinded by her bare midriff, we have apparently forgotten about our own fashion choices--the hot pants, micro-minis, platform shoes, crop tops, tank tops and hip huggers so tight we had to lie down to get them zipped...
...seems as if every six months there's a new crop of diet books peddling a new weight-loss gimmick. The latest are the so-called Pleistocene diets that exhort us to eat as a caveman (or woman) did in order to live a long and healthy life. The idea is that humans didn't evolve on French fries and ice cream. Instead, survival during our formative years was fueled by eating more meat, which allowed our early ancestors' brains to get bigger than those of other primates.

In the course of my investigation I chat to several of these girls in their tangerine hotpants and tight white crop-tops. (Tough work, but I can take...
...bone and everything in between--stem cells cast a mighty spell on medical researchers who dream of using them to treat a whole range of intractable diseases. But because of religious opposition and fears that embryos--the best source of stem cells--could become a kind of cash crop, U.S. scientists have been largely shut out of this promising field. New nih guidelines, however, have reversed the earlier ban and now allow federally funded researchers to use embryonic stem cells as long as they are not sold for profit and come from such sources as embryos discarded from in vitro...
