...appendicitis. In up to 20% of cases, doctors operate only to find a perfectly healthy appendix. Now a study shows that examining the abdomen with ultrasound or a CAT scan is 94% accurate in diagnosing whether a sick child does or does not require surgery. One drawback: a nonradioactive dye must be administered through the child's rectum before a CAT scan can be performed...
...second generation in the cast of American Beauty. Certainly, I could have picked the three, um, American beauties out of a lineup--all striking examples of uncommon poise.

In February L'Oreal...
...sits on a chair at Urban Renewal in Denver while Yvonne tips his platinum hair blue with a mascara wand. Landry, who has had his hair tipped for 14 years and may in fact be in a fashion rut, is here after making a mess with store-bought blue dye. "Yvonne told me she could fix this," he says, "and I was pretty much, 'Whatever.'" Stylists say dyeing men's hair is easier than women's: if they mess up, the guys usually just tell them to shave...
