...many women really match this pitiable description? But if Heyn is right -- if, in fact, a large cross section of American wives suffer from Donna Reed syndrome -- the news here is not that women have extramarital affairs and feel good about their infidelities, as Heyn's fluid narrative suggests. Rather, the news is that after 30 years of battling to shore up women's self-esteem and break down entrenched sex roles, the feminist movement has achieved nothing. That women have learned nothing. That women still bask in a sense of worthlessness that sounds ominously like Betty Friedan's "problem...
Simply defined, sports drinks replenish the fluid, minerals and energy lost during exercise. Long familiar to athletes, Gatorade has become highly visible to sports fans, in the form of the ubiquitous large green-and-orange vats of the drink in dugouts or near team benches at major league events. Hardly a postgame interview passes without a shot of the MVP taking a sip from a paper cup labeled "Gatorade," which is, after all, the official sports drink of major league baseball, the N.F.L., the N.B.A. and the National Hockey League. "Gatorade defines the category," says Jesse Meyers, publisher of Beverage...
Competitors disagree. Still, while percentages of ingredients vary from brand to brand, all the drinks contain water (for fluid replacement), salt and potassium (to maintain the body's fluid-electrolyte balance), and sugar (for quick energy and flavor).

"If you work out more than an hour, you must replace both water and sodium," says Bruno. "But when you exercise for less than an hour, you only need to replace the water." Most medical experts agree that for those...
...forensic test demonstrated that one of two types of sperm found on the victim -- the other sperm, the prosecution argued, was that of her husband -- belonged to someone who was a blood type B secretor, meaning that the blood type can be determined by samples of any bodily fluid. Coleman matched the description -- but since roughly 10% of Grundy's population has type B blood, it is likely that others in the town fit the bill. The prosecution also produced brown hairs the same color as Coleman's, lifted from Wanda's red pubic hair. But other hairs picked...
...empty beer bottle. Live at P.J.'s at times evokes a schmaltzy hotel lounge act. Elsewhere, Santana-like Latin percussion and '60s soul grooves join a pastiche of electronically altered vocals and jabbering wah-wah guitars. Songs like Finger Lickin' Good mix live instruments with electronically sampled sounds and fluid tempos -- "switching the rhythm," as the Beasties say, "like another piece of chewing...
