...this venerable drink: the bathroom shelf. As the world's second largest cosmetics market after the U.S., Japan is a huge consumer of skin-care products. Neither this fact - nor consumers' liking for beauty goods formulated with natural ingredients - has been lost on sake brewers, who are rushing to develop skin-care lines featuring their rice wines. With high levels of naturally created amino acids, these New Age elixirs are aimed at moisturizing and protecting the skin without irritation. Moist Moon (www.moistmoon.jp), launched by the 368-year-old Gekkeikan Sake Co. last October, is one example. The product range includes...
...PROBLEM BE FIXED? The commission's 74 recommendations are designed to "transform" intelligence by undoing bureaucracies and smashing competing CIA, FBI and Pentagon fiefs. The report stresses the need to develop more human agents instead of relying so much on technology...
...children nudge them to be less withdrawn? Some studies suggest that there are real, even lifesaving reasons to try. Bowdoin's Putnam has found that the children in his soap-bubble studies who resist novel situations tend to internalize feelings, which suggests that they are more prone to develop depression and anxiety later in life.

In addition, a 2003 study of HIV-positive men at UCLA showed that patients who scored high...

To actually help, we must first develop our own skills and understanding. We need to find out what the poor want and what the root causes of their problems are. We have to listen to poor people, not only to their national leaders...
...DIED. JOHN DELOREAN, 80, flashy, maverick General Motors executive who went on, as head of his own Northern Ireland-based company, to develop the DeLorean sports car, now a collector's item; in Summit, New Jersey. After making just 8,900 cars, he was arrested for allegedly selling $24 million worth of cocaine to finance the failing company-which quickly collapsed. (He was later acquitted on an entrapment defense.) His stainless steel two-seater with doors that open upwards like a gull's wings did not sell, but won lasting fame as the time-travelling vehicle in the 1985 film...
