It was Miro's power of recall as much as anything else that caused the Surrealists to adopt him. His art seemed to open a direct line to the repossession of childhood through unedited memory.

But in this study, says lead researcher Tom Brikowski, he and his colleagues are pretty sure they've traced a direct relationship between human health and temperature - no mosquitoes or air pollution are needed to make the link. Even in the belt region where kidney stones are common and populations have adjusted their lifestyles to the heat, cases still peak seasonally after periods of hot weather. A previous study found that...
