...once mighty prowl a grocery aisle calculating whether they can afford the big box of cereal that is a better deal but ties up more capital. It might appease our restless animal spirits for a time; biologists have found that receiving an apology affects blood chemistry, slows the heart rate and calms our breathing - all much needed at a moment of national fibrillation. Chimpanzees apologize, or at least perform "reconciliation protocols." How hard can this be? (See 25 people to blame for the financial crisis...

...studies reify gender stereotypes: women get their hearts broken through sadness; men "break" their hearts (via heart attack) through anger. But both studies suggest that men and women have a common interest in understanding that some causes of cardiac disease - poor diet or lack of exercise or bad sleep habits - may have a precipitating cause themselves. Whether male or female, letting yourself get overwhelmed by emotion can damage not only your mind but also that crucial organ, the heart...
