Those struggles suffuse Hourglass (Columbia), Taylor's 17th original album, which will be released next week. The CD boasts an array of guest collaborators, including cellist Ma, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Shawn Colvin and Branford Marsalis. But it is vintage Taylor, blending ironic detachment with personal reflection. In Enough to Be on Your Way, the finest song on the album, he probes in part the death of his brother. During recent rehearsals with his band in Los Angeles, there was a long silence in the room every time he finished playing...

...gerontologists, this was monumental stuff. If human tissue behaved in the body the same way it did in the dish, they felt, it meant that somewhere in the nanoviscera of each cell there was an actuarial hourglass that gave it only so much time to live and no more. If the clock could be found--and, more important, reset--both the cells and the larger corpus that gave rise to them might be made immortal. Of course, hypothesizing the existence of such a cellular timekeeper was one thing; finding it and manipulating it were something else again. In the years...
...time you read this, it will at least be Thursday and your time will indeed be slipping away. Like sands through an hourglass, even. To avoid subjecting yourself and your potential date to undue embarrassment of the sort you mentioned, you have two choices at this point. Either find a groovy underclassman who can dance, drink and schmooze like a pro senior, or hire someone out of the "Adult Services" section of the Phoenix (he's paid for this kind of thing). If you go with my first suggestion, ask the cutest junior in your house (good luck!). They...
...hoops: right next to the shining supernova is a very faint object that may be a tightly compacted neutron star, the remains of an earlier supernova explosion. If so, it could, like other neutron stars, be spewing out twin beams of fast-moving particles. The particles, slamming into the hourglass- shape gas cloud, could have created rings that glowed more brightly after the more recent supernova went...
