...annually, is a hardier bug, having grown resistant to the prescription drugs lindane and Elimite and the over-the-counter permethrin drug Nix, which remain imperfect mainstays in the treatment of lice. "The pyrethrins [RID, Pronto and A-200 Pyrinate] aren't working as well as they used to either," says University of Miami lice expert Terri Meinking. Such insecticide products all have side effects. And none are 100% ovicidal, which doesn't cut it with today's "no-nit" policy in schools. Some parents have taken to dousing their kids' heads with kerosene, which is both highly dangerous...
...this ain?t Y2K, either. The Melissa virus affected 19 percent of U.S. corporations; Taylor doubts Explore.Zip will come anywhere near that. "It?s not nearly as infectious," Taylor says. "Of course, those that it hits, it hits much harder.

The experience didn't radicalize...
...scandal of Charlie Chaplin, who married the very young Oona O'Neill and actually got to live happily ever after with her. And of course Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner, battling and drinking in their epic '50s melodrama. Ernest Hemingway said all great love affairs end in tragedy: either disillusion sets in and people "settle" or separate, or one member of the affair dies, leaving the other alone. By that reckoning, all romances are equal, the more famous ones no better, no worse, no more desperate or idealistic than thousands of others. But five relationships kept us spellbound...
