...same time, hints that the drugs could make anyone - not just depressed people - feel better raised tantalizing (and troubling) questions about the future of mood-bending drugs. If Prozac gives you an up even when you're not down, why wouldn't you want to take it? Dr. Peter Kramer of Brown University asked that question in his best-selling 1993 book, Listening to Prozac. A drug that makes patients feel "better than well," he suggested, might give rise to a new era of "cosmetic psychopharmacology," in which reshaping your personality would be as easy as highlighting your hair...
...might have picked the right product to push in stores, however, since it already owns Gillette, the dominant shaving brand. The Art of Shaving gives P&G yet another outlet in which to sell the Gillette blades, and perhaps give its products a more premium cachet. "This is alternative marketing, just another way to promote the Gillette brand," says William Chappell, an analyst for SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.

Even a restaurant whose published numbers are accurate down to the last calorie still may not give customers a truly realistic sense of what they're consuming.

One woman who declined to give her name said she'd had her knitting needles taken from her for the first time in 25 years of traveling. But Peter Gruder said that two security checkpoints failed to find an oversize bottle of liquid that a checkpoint of German guards in Munich had found and allowed him to keep. Tony Williams, an American arriving from Qatar, said flying first class had put him in an expedited lane through security after connecting from an airport in Laos with "shockingly low security...
...they're being pushed out by the Danish People's Party, which has succeeded in passing several harsh immigration laws in recent years with the help of allies in Parliament. Last fall, a proposal was passed to pay "antisocial" foreigners 100,000 kroner ($19,000) to leave Denmark and give up their residency rights. The group is now discussing whether to try to ban minarets on mosques. "Some [Somalis] who do not have any education can feel rejected and can be too easily tempted by radical groups," Artan says. "These people might be here in Denmark physically, but mentally they...
