...supple guitar riffs and fluid compositions of PAT METHENY are still the best evidence around that jazz-pop fusion works. But Secret Story is not just another eloquent instrumental statement. It is a "theme" album with a surprising subject: Pat Metheny. The tracks form an emotional though virtually wordless chronicle of his ill-fated romance with a Brazilian woman. Above the Treetops uses a sweet-voiced Cambodian women's choir to herald the excitement of new love. The intensity builds through the poignant Longest Summer (on which Metheny makes his piano debut).

If humans respond the same way as lab mice, new drugs could supersede current estrogen-replacement therapy, which can cause fluid retention and leg cramps...
Some scientists believe that the neurotransmitters are just links in a chain of reactions and that the real master molecules of mood reside higher up in that chain. One leading candidate: a substance called corticotropin- releasing hormone, or crh, which is pumped directly into the spinal fluid and thus bathes the entire brain at once. Discovered in 1981 by researchers studying the biochemistry of stress, crh is known to promote vigilance and decrease interest in food and sex when administered in small doses. In higher doses, it triggers anxiety. When Philip Gold, chief of the clinical neuroendocrinology branch...
...roommate Christopher, who was taking Expos with another professor, showed me his first piece. Christopher is a computer science major with ambitions to study artificial intelligence. I was flattered when he asked me to read his work--itseemed he wanted my approval. Turns out he hadwritten the most fluid, mature, sensitive pieces Ihad seen in recent memory. And writing wasn't evenhis thing. That killed...
