...massages. As a neurosurgeon, I've never been completely convinced that the science behind them is all that sound. Yet there's no denying that they're popular - particularly among baby boomers and others who try to get active and stay fit with bodies that seem to grow achier all the time. But increasingly, research is showing that all those boomers may be onto something - that there are solid reasons for just about everyone to consider getting a good rubdown...
...nursery is a false Eden, because class inequalities are already at work. According to a 2007 report by the nonprofit Sutton Trust, cognitive test scores of bright 3-year-olds from the poorest British households drop around 30% by the time the children reach age 5. As kids grow, so does the education gap. The chances for smart-but-poor Britons to reach top universities are slim.

The only way the environmental movement can grow beyond a relatively small elite is if it meets broad, basic economic needs, not just green ones. "We need to go from talking about green as a lifestyle choice, and make it an economic choice," says Jones. "We need eco-populism, not eco-elitism...

This isn't the time to abandon the green push - not just because carbon emissions continue to rise faster than ever or because scientists grow more concerned daily about the fate of the planet. Let's even put aside a politically fraught cap-and-trade program for the moment. A green stimulus package - a Green Deal, perhaps - could not only put the unemployed back to work in the middle of a harsh recession, but also lay the building blocks for a new, more sustainable American economy, one prepared to compete in a future...
