...ostensibly to participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack of either M&M's or granola. Another "participant," who was actually an actor hired by the research team, grabbed her food first, in full view of the subjects at the snack line. In her natural state, the phony participant weighed 105 lb. and wore a size 0. But in about half the cases, she wore a prosthetic designed by an Academy Award-winning costume studio. The fat suit increased her weight to 180 lb. and puffed...
...shouldn't be cause for concern. Grovenburg's babies should behave much as twins do; in all likelihood, the second baby will be born slightly premature when Julia first goes into labor. Since the difference between the babies is only two weeks, the second baby will be nearly at full term anyway. Indeed, the last known case of superfetation had a happy ending. In 2007, a British woman gave birth to a boy and girl who were conceived three weeks apart, with no undue complications...
Your cover photograph of the late, great, Ted Kennedy surely doesn't do him justice. This study of a seemingly bewildered and disillusioned man does not reflect the positive and dedicated humanitarian he became.

...Edging Toward the Exit U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner this month announced that the U.S. is starting to phase out some of its emergency support for banks and financial markets. But he pointedly made no mention of a full-blown "exit strategy," saying that "we must continue reinforcing recovery until it is self-sustaining." When and how governments and central banks pull back is a critical issue that still needs to be coordinated. One of the risks is that inflation could soar due to the explosion of national debt in many countries during the crisis. And early signs suggest governments...
...Bangkok feels high and dry compared to Jakarta. This year, in January, when the rainfall is heaviest, the U.S. embassy in Jakarta advised its citizens to stock up on food and water, keep cell phones charged and gas tanks at least three-quarters full, and exercise caution when driving through "small rivers." It's the sort of travel advisory you'd expect for negotiating an untamed wilderness, not a city of more than 12 million souls. Damage from a deadly 2007 flood cost Jakarta half a billion dollars - ironically, roughly the same cost as an unfinished project designed to prevent...
