...nuns in Snowdon's study appear to have lived relatively stress-free lives--no mortgages, doctors' bills, credit-card payments or children to worry about. I am curious to learn how stress will affect us aging baby boomers. Many of us have characteristics of the nuns that were mentioned in the article, such as higher education, intellectual endeavors and good nutrition. But no generation can escape negativity, and keeping a positive outlook is very difficult at times. The concerns of two jobs per household, escalating prices and other pressures of day-to-day living--it would be interesting to know...
...aback. Then he was skeptical. But he quickly had 10 orders for the dolls, priced at $5,000 each and paid in advance. In his garage, he and his wife - whose hands and feet, but no other extremities, are models for the dolls - built their first anatomically correct girls.

George W. Bush has a curious relationship with his alma mater. On Monday, the President delivered a short, light-hearted speech to the graduating students of Yale, where he was class of 1968. It made sense for Bush to be there. He is, after all, a third generation Yalie, and his daughter Barbara made it four generations when she entered as a freshman last year. And yet Bush has spent the better part of the last 25 years scorning the elitism and the intellectual snobbery that he says he encountered at Yale...
