Many people, of course, have known that from the minute Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre found a way to fix images on silver-coated plates in 1839. "Photography was art from the moment the first shutter clicked," insists Graham Nash, 37, a San Francisco musician (formerly of Crosby, Stills and Nash), who owns one of the largest private collections on the West Coast. But only in the past decade has the general public placed photography alongside the other major arts. The first commercially successful New York City gallery devoted solely to photographs was opened in 1969 by Lee Witkin...
...drugs really work? Yes, say the pharmaceutical houses, which got strong support earlier this year from a special advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration. After reviewing drug company data, the study group found that benzocaine and PPA apparently were "safe and effective." It was a tentative finding, to be sure, and must still be accepted by the FDA, but manufacturers pressed ahead with intensified ad campaigns...

Examining them with a hand compass earlier this year, Dartmouth Geographer Vincent H. Malmstrom found that its needle was sharply attracted whenever he held it to the navel of some of the statues, the right temple of others. Reason: these parts of their anatomy were themselves magnets. More astonishing, the rotund figures are about 4,000 years old, 2,000 years older than the first evidence of Chinese experiments with magnetism...
