Another friend tells me about the "magnetized" water and testosterone ointment he sells to folks who have seen his antiaging ads in shopping circulars. He was a brilliant pathologist; I once entrusted my patients' lives to his call on biopsy specimens. He began making a few extra bucks with naturopathics, then enough to quit real medicine altogether. I trust little about him since he started with the magnetic water because I know he knows better: he passed physics to get into med school. But now he can finally afford that Range Rover...
...always gotten along personally, and there is a mutual understanding that continues to be the basis for our work together." It's the kind of affinity--similar to what U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is said to have with President George W.

...mention, this took place at Central Connecticut State?I offer no offense to this worthy institution, founded in 1849 under the principle of delicious four-cheese pizza, only a rebuke of my own.This relatively anonymous, state-funded university puts out the effort to inspire its fans, going the extra mile to fill its arena.

"It's just not a natural motion to be upside down throwing a ball between your legs," explains Mannelly on the rigors of his job - a rather lucrative one, by the way (a nine-year vet, Mannelly makes over...
...hold industry? Well, perhaps, because it's more important, and challenging, than you think. Consider: if not for a couple of snap-and-hold miscues, right now we could be dissecting a Cincinnati Bengals-Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl. But Cincinnati's Brad St. Louis botched a game-tying extra-point snap on Christmas Eve, ending the Bengals' playoff run. And in the wild card round, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo fumbled a hold on a game-winning field goal attempt against the Seattle Seahawks. The special-teams frat cringes at these gaffes. "I feel so bad for the guy," says...
