...heart and prevents cancer. But what if it doesn't? A $415 million, 12-year U.S. study of 49,000 older women found that a low-fat diet did not significantly reduce breast cancer, colorectal cancer or heart disease. But low-fat advocates say the study didn't distinguish between good fats such as those in olive oil and oily fish and bad ones in meat and dairy products.

She hated speaking Mandarin, the language her parents used at home. She added a y to her name and changed the pronunciation to Gray-cee to distinguish herself from two other Asians at school named Grace. "I didn't want to be like other Asians," she recalls. But The Joy Luck Club turned her into a "born-again Asian." It gave her new insights into why her mom was so hard on her and why the ways...
