Children's ear infections can be quickly cured, but there may be lasting effects. In a study of more than 7,500 kids ages 2 to 11, University of Illinois at Chicago scientists found that children who suffered three or more ear infections in their lifetime were twice as likely as children with no ear problems to have asthma. It's not clear what the two diseases have in common, but one possibility is that the bacteria that cause ear infections may play a role in the development of asthma. It could also be that the antibiotics used to clear...
...switch in attorneys and approach can be traced, sources tell TIME, to a rift in the family and the growing influence of Michael's younger brother Randy, 42, who has supplanted Jermaine as the brother most involved in the case. "Randy's got his ear right now," says a knowledgeable source. The brothers have been at odds before. When Jermaine left the Jacksons temporarily in 1975, Randy replaced him; years later, they had a tiff when Jermaine threatened to withdraw from a 2001 reunion concert.

World War I began the following year. --By Richard Lacayo
...President is a compelling presence in this book, as he was in Woodward's last. He fairly leaps off the page, brisk and unflappable. It is difficult to know how accurate this portrait is, and how much of it consists of sweet nothings whispered into the author's ear by loyal retainers. I suspect the Woody Allen and Joe Public stories are true. They are moments when the curtain of platitudes is parted and the quality of Bush's sensibility is revealed. I also suspect the larger picture--the world as seen from the West Wing bunker--is distressingly accurate...
