...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. On the catwalk in last month's fall menswear show in Manhattan, models wore leather flip-flops with turned-up toes...
Sitting by his pool in the sunshine, as a small coyote strolls by and red-tailed hawks circle above, Heston seems a man at peace, relishing his foray onto the nation's political stage. In his autobiography, he offers a philosophy of life: "In the beginning an actor impresses us with his looks, later his voice enchants us. Over the years, his performances enthrall us.

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. That same year Hamer's lab helped pinpoint another gene, this...
