...Cheney. He's not running. He has no plans to run. Which means he doesn't have to make all the silly stops that Gore or Bush 41 had to make. But it also means he doesn't have to put his ear to the ground. He doesn't have to pay any attention to the polls. He doesn't have to surround himself with political advisors who worry about his every move. And the problem with that isn't that he spends a lot of time hunting or fishing or reading intelligence reports (or whatever it is Cheney does...

...pain patients get back to their jobs faster. But perhaps the most noteworthy finding was that 27 institutionalized South African epileptics who had just nine hours of ACT in 2004 experienced significantly fewer and shorter seizures than those in a placebo treatment in which the therapist offered a supportive ear. Even Hayes, who is not usually overburdened with modesty, was startled by that finding. He could only hypothesize about why ACT might reduce seizures: "You teach people to walk right up to the moment they seize and watch it." Somehow, he suggests, that helps reduce biochemical arousal in those critical...

...musicians-who all play their instruments by ear-have eight minutes to impress the eight judges seated in the main Grand Stand. The "engine room," or rhythm section of each steel band, includes at least one conventional drum kit, tumba drums, maracas and "irons"-scrapped car-brake drums hit with metal rods. The engine room sets the tempo, the panmen follow, thumping and reverberating, and the North Stand, a rather rickety structure of standing-room-only bleachers erected especially for the competition, explodes with energy-the wooden planks bow precariously as they're rhythmically pounded in unison by the feet...

...year-old daughter Lucy, who is autistic. "She used to sit in a corner and have no interaction with anyone," Quatron says. Two years ago, she began taking Lucy to a center in Lewes, England, that uses the Tomatis method of playing music through what's called an "electronic ear" - essentially regular headphones with a piece in the middle that vibrates against the scalp, conveying sounds through bone conduction. Tomatis and his followers claim that this has a profound impact on patients' ability to hear and listen to others and themselves, which is the core of the treatment. Still, since...
