...Nina Shandler turned into a red-eyed wretch, wrung out by hot flashes that banished sleep. There she was, lying in bed, soaking in her own sweat, awakened "at two-hour intervals every single night by a self-generated tropical typhoon." She knew the term hot flash but hadn't expected to encounter one this side of 50. What conventional wisdom had neglected to convey to Shandler is that long before menopause occurs and menstrual cycles cease, women in their 30s and 40s can be subject to distressing symptoms.

...saving up for what will be staggering tuition bills. To find out why college costs keep rising, Larson used the Freedom of Information Act and got his hands on government statistics about college finances. He wasn't surprised when his story grabbed the interest of fellow parents. What he hadn't expected was the reaction he got from other reporters.

Though Donizetti saves his very best for Nemorino's duets with Adina, every major character enjoys at least a few minutes of choice aria...
...Hayden wears the dark suit and close-cropped haircut appropriate to his position as a California state senator, but TIME's James Willwerth notes that voters apparently couldn't dismiss the mental image of Hayden as a 1960s radical: disheveled, angry, defiant. In the campaign, Hayden proved that he hadn't lost his passion. He attacked Riordan for his record on racial healing and environmental issues. Meanwhile, Riordan quietly painted a picture of a rebounding L.A.: "We've restored confidence in our city, we've made our city safer, we rebuilt our economy," he said in his victory speech. Voters...
