...however, that the crusaders spoiled such a valuable opportunity to really tackle Buchanan's message. As much as we would like to dismiss Buchanan as a stone-age bigot and group him alongside David Duke, such a characterization is not entirely accurate. Buchanan has somehow managed to avoid the oblivion of the fringe. For starters, his philosophy of "economic patriotism" is based on ideas that are popular across the political spectrum. On issues such as free-trade and globalization, Harvard students should keep in mind that in addition to millions of blue-collar workers, Buchanan can claim the sympathies...

Says Duke University neurobiologist Lawrence Katz: "Anything that uses all your senses to do something forms associations that make the brain more fit and agile." Katz and co-author Manning Rubin came up with 83 "neurobic" exercises for their book Keep Your Brain Alive. Sample different food, they suggest, reposition your furniture, travel by a different route, learn a language--try anything that will alter the brain's neural pathways. Certain activities, like gardening and fishing, are beneficial because they involve so many senses. Your lifestyle shapes...
