...women, in the U.S. at least, thought was settled: whether routine mammograms save lives. Given that tens of millions of these tests are performed each year, the women who get them deserve some clarity on the issue. Instead they're getting an old-fashioned academic feud with lots of heat and very little light...
...Well, it's a new millennium, and no doubt feeling heat from the X-Games generation, the International Olympic Committee has indeed invited the world's best skeleton riders. With a third ya-gotta-be-nuts sliding sport (along with bobsled and luge) now on the schedule, the slate of what Americans consider the Peripherals-nonmarquee sports that zoom into the sporting Zeitgeist every fourth year only to melt away in the post-Games thaw-is at an all-time high. At Salt Lake we'll have all kinds of sleds, cross-country races (some with guns!), ski jumps...

In other Western states such hardships bred a cantankerous individualism. In Utah the LDS church fostered a tightly knit communitarian approach. This lingers today in the "clannishness" that Hinckley criticized in his Pioneer Day speech, and has led to the polarization of society that persists even as much else...

...easier if you could call your oven from work and tell it to start cooking. With smart ovens from Tonight's Menu, you will soon be able to. NASA technology keeps the roast cool until you dial in from a Web-ready cell phone to set the time and heat. All of which will cost about $75 more than a regular oven...
