...clock and I do a three-mile walk with a friend of mine. We've done that for a decade now. I come back, get the kids off to school with my husband, and then I go up to my office and answer fan mail for about an hour or so online. Then I pick up whatever I've been writing the day before and read through it on the screen, editing as I go. When I get to the bottom, I just start writing again.

Its results diverge from those of the other longitudinal study, conducted by Dr. Dimitri Christakis at Seattle Children's Research Institute, which found that DVD-viewing hindered toddlers' ability to learn vocabulary. In that study, with each additional hour spent in front of a screen, babies at 8 to 16 months learned six to eight fewer vocabulary words than infants who stayed away from videos.

Meeting in Brussels for a long Sunday lunch, European Union leaders were supposed to clear the air after weeks of jibes, sneers and slurs over who is to blame for the economic crisis. But after a three-hour meal of goat cheese, beef stew and apple crumble, they emerged as ratty as ever, barely concealing their long-standing gripes and graphically revealing how far the E.U. is from any coordinated response to the downturn...
