...alert! Ice cream is more fattening than you think, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health-advocacy group. The culprit isn't necessarily the Ben & Jerry's in your freezer, but also the ice cream--shop treats laden with sugary toppings. They can pack the calories of three cheeseburgers and a day and a half's worth of saturated fat. --By Nadia Mustafa
...found evidence of an Iraq-Al Qaeda link. More interesting, perhaps, is how the number of Americans suspecting an Iraq link to the events of 9/11 grew in the year following the attacks: Within days of the attacks, only 3 percent cited Iraq as a possible culprit. Yet, by January of this year, 44 percent were telling pollsters they believed Saddam was involved, and a similar number believed most or some of the hijackers were Iraqi nationals. (None were...
...will be tough for theaters like ours in the next few years," says Daniel Cartier, projection manager at the illustrious Le Champo cinema, which has been run by the same family since 1939.

Uncharacteristically, he stumbled over words and didn't seem at all comfortable. Kerry's modest sidle toward aggression made the evening news; Dean's didn't. Kerry had "won" the day-for a change-and what promises...
...legal system is not the only culprit in the malpractice mess. Critics say soaring premiums are less the result of lawsuits than of insurers rushing to make up for their losses in underpriced premiums and poorly performing investments. An independent study by Weiss Ratings to be released this week shows that states with caps on malpractice damages have not enjoyed much relief in malpractice-insurance premiums but have instead seen insurers shore up profits. Sosenko's anger at the insurers moved him to join several hundred other Illinois physicians at a rally in the state capital earlier this year, calling...
