...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. Shot almost entirely in interiors--the insides of vans, apartments, bunk beds--it has a stuffy, caged-heat vibe, sharing with Eyes the suggestion that if you leave two people alone in a room, they'll be tempted to start rutting like rabbits. Take Dave and Katie, a couple in a sexual slump. Katie shags a bartender while Dave sleeps nearby, and for an encore she beds...
...Seacrest peers down into the huge gloom of well No. 2, which penetrates 90 ft. into the Platte Aquifer. As her eyes catch the gleam of water destined to salve the thirst of people in Lincoln, Neb., 20 miles away, she begins to jump up and down in the heat of a summer afternoon.

...deadly hot in the eastern United States. For a week, huge swaths of the region have baked in unrelenting 90-degree weather that has sometimes peaked to more than 100. The heat-related death toll already stands at 25 and is likely to climb higher as heat advisories continue to be posted from Kansas eastward through the Ohio Valley and parts of the Southeast. Utilities are scrambling to keep up with the service needs generated by record air-conditioning usage. And that?s not all. Although the hot weather has people soaking through high humidity, rain has been just about...
...this happening? 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...
