...Harold Bloomfield, author of Hypericum & Depression (Prelude Press; $7.95), this pretty yellow-flowered plant is nature's own antidepressant--almost as potent as the prescription drug Prozac but without Prozac's troubling side effects. St. John's wort may not work for everyone, acknowledges Bloomfield, a psychiatrist in Del Mar, Calif. "But to those for whom it does work, it's like a godsend...
...great horror moment, like this one in Guillermo Del Toro's Mimic, works as both pulp and poetry.

She'd like to take him on the road. "If Neil Young can go out with a truck full of Harleys, I can have a horse trailer. I'm sure country acts do." She pauses at that last...
...seizure of University Hall, has been arrested in Mexico City for alleged revolutionary activities. Mexican police charge that he is a member of the Movimiento de Accion Revolucionario, a group allegedly responsible for a series of bank robberies. Later allegations link him to the Comando Armando del Peuble, a Marxist urban guerilla group. Authorities do not level a specific charge. Under Mexican law, Hyland may be held in prison for as long as a year before charges are brought...
