Movies may glamorize mayhem while serving as a fantasy safety valve. A steady diet of megaviolence may coarsen the young psyche--but some films may instruct it. Heathers and Natural Born Killers are crystal-clear satires on psychopathy, and The Basketball Diaries is a mordant portrait of drug addiction. Payback is a grimly synoptic parody of all gangster films. In three weeks, 15 million people have seen The Matrix and not gone berserk. And Carrie 2 is a crappy remake of a 1976 hit that led to no murders...
...turns out that the most damning evidence doctors had against eggs was circumstantial. Eggs, or really egg yolks, contain about 215 mg of cholesterol. There is no question that eating a diet rich in cholesterol raises the level of cholesterol in the blood. A high cholesterol count (more than 240 mg/dl, or 6.18 millimoles/L) is clearly tied to a greater risk of heart disease and stroke.

...Sure, I used to peruse the pages of Seventeen during slumber parties--but I never bought my own subscription. Magazines like these, I thought, just market insecurity. Feeling unattractive? All you need is that new shade of lipstick from L'Oreal. Boyfriend not treating you right? Try this new diet; he'll be eating out of your hand. I guess this attitude doesn't make me a good candidate to review the trendy new men's mag, Maxim, but I have great news to report: When your man is going to the gym, he's not indulging his Neanderthal muscle...
