...over film footage of love-ins, was once the "if it feels good, do it" crowd. (A nice touch, since it doubled as an implied dig at President Clinton and as a nod to Bush's wild-boy past, which, face it, actually gives him a rakish bad-boy glow today.) Today, he said, they have become responsible: they've raised children, gotten careers, become leaders. That's why he ran for governor of Texas, Bush tells us.

The LiceMeister comb enables parents to remove head lice and nits manually, and a new shampoo just invented at Yale promises to make nits glow under ultraviolet light, making them easier to spot...
