Unlike most journalists, I believe it's important to give both sides equal consideration in this presidential contest.

Oldsters in Sardinia, another wellspring of longevity, have many similarities to their Okinawan counterparts--except that the Sardinian ratio of centenarians is about equal for men and women (in most societies, 100-plus females outnumber males by 3 or 4 to 1). They maintain very active lives and powerful social networks; extended family and friends are available to share troubles and take some of the emotional burden out of life.

We've put strategies in place to change the environment. We've spoken...
...image sensor, a tiny silicon chip about a half-inch wide embedded with millions of pixels tightly packed together. When struck by light, each pixel generates an electric current that is converted into the digital data that make up your picture. But not all pixels are created equal, and some cameras use larger ones than others. For example, the pixels on the HP Photosmart R707 are just 2.8 microns wide, whereas those on the Nikon D70 are 7.8 microns wide. (A micron is tiny?1/24,500 of an inch.) The advantage of a larger pixel is that it is able...
