...pregnancy issue cuts both ways: for younger men who haven't had children, marrying a 70-year-old pretty much ends the discussion. Paul Falzone, CEO of dating services the Right One and Together, had to call off a five-year relationship with an older woman over this issue. "If you want children, [that's] going to be a deal breaker. I had to walk, and it wasn't because we didn't get along, but [children were] my no. 1 priority," he says...

...much of a problem these days, but new research gives fresh cause for concern. It seems that blood levels of lead previously thought to be safe can actually cause intellectual impairment.

The guidelines for safe lead levels have been revised repeatedly over the years...

In the first year after quitting, the women's lung function improved more than twice as much as the men's, and it stayed better throughout the five-year study...

Quite the curious five-year old, I remember walking around the room in awe, staring at his ALCS MVP and Rolaids Relief Pitcher of the Year awards. Right away, Dennis pulled down the trophies to show me up close, and he explained how he had felt upon winning them. Dennis’s wife took numerous pictures of Bill, Dennis and me that are still proudly displayed in my room at home. Finally, Dennis signed numerous balls, hats and pictures...
