...either straight or gay, with bisexuality being merely the unnatural by-product of confusion and repression among some homosexuals? Or is bisexuality a third distinct orientation? Is sexuality governed by biology or culture? Is it fixed, an identity that is set early and endures through life? Or is it fluid, shifting with time and temptation...
...Bizet's masterpiece has been adapted, updated, mutilated, so it is refreshing that the New York City Opera has a new version (performances till November) that plays it straight. It helps to have a Carmen who dominates the stage, and Sharon Graham, a young American, scores high.

"The Soviets are weaker financially and spiritually, and don't know...
...osteoclasts, cells whose job is to scour away aging bone cells. Trouble is, other cells called osteoblasts, which fill in the holes left by osteoclasts, don't increase proportionately. 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...
