...Bartlett. "We called [Hush Puppies] and asked for some old styles they were not really doing anymore." Bartlett had the shoes custom-dyed in hues to match his suits. Hush Puppies, which claims it was already orchestrating a comeback, got a huge boost from his ideas. Bartlett's newest foray into shoes is a little less traditional.

...results of Hamer's first foray into behavioral genetics, published by the journal Science in 1993, ignited a furor that has yet to die down. According to Hamer and his colleagues, male homosexuality appeared to be linked to a stretch of DNA at the very tip of the X chromosome, the chromosome men inherit from their mothers. Three years later, in 1996, Hamer and his collaborators at NIH seconded an Israeli group's finding that linked a gene on chromosome 11 to the personality trait psychologists call novelty seeking.
