...York City are leading the way. After that, says Brownell, cafeteria menus should be revised to replace foods high in empty calories with more nutritious fare. Ludwig is eager to eliminate fast-food-type meals from school cafeterias, some of which sell food supplied by McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Burger King and other franchisers. On days when kids eat fast food, they consume an average of 187 more calories than on days without fast food, Ludwig and collaborators reported in a large study published in the January issue of Pediatrics. Since, on average, the American kid eats a fast-food...

As he stumbled naked and sunburned across the beach, he heard the whirr of a jet engine and watched his flight back to Harvard take off over his aching head. "Damn," he thought. "I guess there's no way I'm turning in that Social Studies response paper...
...police assembled for morning parade. By the end of the week, the bombings, shootouts and guerrilla attacks had left at least 44 dead. No one claimed responsibility, but the government immediately blamed "Wahhabis" - their catchall term for Islamic militants - and in particular, the clandestine Hizb ut-Tahrir (HUT), or Party of Liberation, whose avowed aim is to create a worldwide Islamic caliphate. Senior officials also linked the attacks to al-Qaeda, describing them as retribution for the country's support of the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. But to many, the haste in accusing the HUT smacked of political convenience...
