...more than 45,000 men show that two or three cups of coffee a day may cut the risk of developing gallstones by 40%. Filtered, instant and espresso all seem to do the trick. But other caffeinated drinks, like tea and cola, don't. Researchers think coffee may help flush out the gallbladder and somehow alter bile fluid...
...perfect cast of Joseph Cotten, Orson Welles, Trevor Howard and a ravishing, gut-wrenching Alida Valli as the bad guy's girlfriend, this is quite simply one of the five best movies ever made, no taste-accounting necessary. Don't expect Kosovo to be as stylish, but the amoral flush of fresh peace (and fresh chaos) will no doubt be just as potent in Pristina as it was on the silver screen...
...sure of dropping their payloads on the right place. Last week that changed. Across 70% of Yugoslavia, elevators creaked to a halt, faucets dribbled, stoves cooled and TVs blackened. Traffic lights and tram lines were out, and pump failures forced Serbs to the Danube River for water to flush their toilets. And as the bombing expanded, so did the civilian casualties. On Friday night an allied warplane--most likely a U.S. B-2--dropped a load of bombs on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing four and infuriating the Chinese. That bombing bungle followed a week of occasional misses...
...suddenly flush clerks and secretaries, not to mention the even flusher bankers, at Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs Group won't be convinced. But their company's smashing $3.7 billion initial public stock offering last week--spreading wealth up and down the ladder--was less noteworthy than a handful of Internet IPOs that flopped. Say what?

Meanwhile, online real estate company Comps.com actually fell...
FILL 'ER UP Loading up on liquids--any kind, including water, coffee or soda--may help protect the bladder from cancer. Data on 50,000 men show that consuming ten 8-oz. glasses each day can cut the risk of bladder cancer in half. The liquids probably flush away carcinogens and keep urine diluted so toxins make less contact with the bladder wall. Half a gallon a day may sound like a lot to swallow, but it's only about three glasses more than most people already drink...
