There is a certain pleasure to listening to the record, don't get me wrong, but it is a gooey kind of thing, like eating molasses cookies or bittersweet chocolate mousse. Over all, it is an album better suited to high school, or immediately after, when emotions run hard and deep, and we take melodrama in stride...
...years since the caramel theory was first advanced, the gooey glycosylation residue has been given an appropriate acronym: AGES, for advanced glycosylation end products. If residue from AGES do indeed gum up the body's works, however, there may now be a way to get things unstuck. Investigators at the Picower Institute for Medical Research in New York are working on a drug that acts as an AGES solvent.

Out of the corner of their eyes, our dyers often catch sight of open-mouthed gapes and wide-eyed stares. "No stranger ever says anything," Brown says. "They just stare." Workman adds that "little kids can't keep their eyes off my hair." Of course, these enraptured spectators can hardly be blamed for their violation of Ms. Vanderbilt's no-staring rule. The novelty of blue hair is justification...
