Hint #1: D.C. is not a place where people take stands for fashion. Notorious for uncoordinated outfits that fail miserably in dealing with the swampy heat of Washington summers, professionals stick to suits (for men) and suits (for women). People who put concerted thought into their garments or wear anything not considered "classic," like the only woman wearing capri pants during the morning rush, scream "tourist...
...take on young love and sex. Roland Joffe's Undressed (weeknights, 11 E.T.), premiering this week, ambitiously interweaves 23 story lines of sexual confusion, selfishness and experimentation--it's Lust, American Style.

Though many heat-exhausted people in the East are ready to pin the blame on human-induced global warming, the scientific community in general is not quite ready to sign on to that theory. "We are experiencing some regional heat waves, which may or may not average out over the long term," says TIME science contributor Fred Golden. TIME science correspondent Dick Thompson concurs. "You can?t link a specific event ? this heat wave ? to climate change," he says. And although many experts believe the Earth is heating up, they cannot agree whether it is caused by human...
