Menopause is also a good time to get serious, if you haven't already, about adopting a healthy lifestyle. A diet that contains lots of fruits and vegetables and plenty of fiber becomes even more important at midlife. Regular exercise--aerobic and muscle building--is not only good for your heart and bones; it can also help your body deal with sudden temperature changes. "Those aren't necessarily the sexy answers that people want to hear," says Dr. Cynthia Stuenkel of the University of California, San Diego. But they are the kind of no-nonsense steps that anyone...
...Princeton continues to trim the fat off of its slightly plump grade distribution, we hope Harvard is wise enough to avoid the same diet. Last Monday, Princeton Dean of the College Nancy W. Malkiel announced that the college was halfway toward its final goal of systematically reducing the number of A’s doled out by professors.

His plans beyond that are hazy. Koizumi has promised to step down when his term as party president (and thus Prime Minister) expires in September 2006. But "one year is not enough to implement long-term policies," says political commentator Minoru...
...told that in addition to losing weight and swimming, as you get older you have to play piano and learn a new language because it's good for your brain. That's new. I didn't use to worry about my brain. I put myself on the South Beach diet; I ate a lot of almonds and Laughing Cow cheese. Now I'm going to learn Italian and to play piano. In fact, a friend had to stop me from buying a piano over the phone...
