...stores while iTunes thrives, and the most popular clip on YouTube gets more viewers than the biggest blockbuster films. But in the face of this onslaught, books have remained relatively untouched. To me, books are a remnant from the old order when people still luxuriated in bubble baths and drank dry martinis. So when both Random House and HarperCollins announced they had a new way of combining technology and literature, I was skeptical. Last week, Random House introduced Insight, a new browsing feature on their Web site that enables users to search and read excerpts from over...

Rosner added that there was no significant inverse association between coffee drinking and heart attacks, however...
...have them delivered to unsuspecting kids in homeroom on February 14. Apparently this was supposed to open our eyes to the wide world of gift giving and displays of romantic affection. Unfortunately for the students of Deer Path Junior High, not all of us were the cool kids who drank beer and made out, and the nerdy pre-pubescent twelve-year-old who gives another nerdy pre-pubescent twelve-year-old a pink carnation on Valentine’s Day has the entire rest of the year to sit and feel awkward in Language Arts class...
