Have you seen the latest Star Trek film? I haven't. Abrams sent me a message through the Web - what was it, Twittered me? No. YouTubed me? No, what has he done? E-mailed me. He e-mailed me saying he heard that I hadn't seen the movie and he'd set up a private screening, and I declined the private screening and told him I'd buy him dinner...
...More Help Needed for Moms TIME has done a great disservice to mothers suffering from postpartum depression (PPD) [July 20]. You showed a clear lack of understanding about the seriousness of this illness, which affects 10% to 20% of new mothers. PPD impacts a mother's ability to function; it is not a "difficult period."

...most surprising result so far might be that Latin America's leftists have abandoned their usual line of accusing Washington of meddling and are lamenting that it hasn't done enough.

The Obama Administration argues it has taken action by cutting off military aid to Honduras and revoking the diplomatic visas of several officials. But U.S. conservatives have argued against more punitive steps, saying Zelaya was a menace who had to be taken down. The coup was launched as the leftist leader...
...there's some confusion about whether it is exercise - sweaty, exhausting, hunger-producing bursts of activity done exclusively to benefit our health - that leads to all these benefits or something far simpler: regularly moving during our waking hours. We all need to move more - the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says our leisure-time physical activity (including things like golfing, gardening and walking) has decreased since the late 1980s, right around the time the gym boom really exploded. But do we need to stress our bodies...
