...well do the nico-pops work? "I've had mixed success," says Dr. Rene Harper, an assistant professor at the Medical College of Georgia, who has prescribed the lollipops to patients who had failed to quit smoking with either nicotine gum or patches. Some of his patients found they either were too expensive or didn't pack enough of a punch. Still, Harper says, "there may be some advantage to the lollipop. It may work faster than gum." Experts suspect the pops probably won't cause lung cancer, but heart disease can't be ruled...

Those who lose interest in the show can ponder the age-old question: Is the quality of a restaurant’s food inversely proportional to the number of scrunchies sported by its clientele...

In Soviet times a slightly furtive place, it now offers a crash course in the lifestyles of the "new Russians." Wander down the trading row nearest...
July 26th—The entire Cincinnati Reds rotation is traded to the Baltimore Orioles for three sticks of bubble gum and two packs of sunflower seeds. It is too bad that a powerful team like the Reds have such a horrible pitching staff. All of the offensive output of Sean Casey, Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn will be wasted. It is kinda like the Texas Rangers from last year, only worse. Did you see who started Opening Day for the Reds? Oh, the ever-impressive Joey Hamilton. Who? Yeah, that’s right...
