...treadmill. His blood pressure is 117 over 70. His resting heart rate is 55. He's fully capable of putting in 10-, 15-hour days." A company whose directors have the boss's blood-pressure readings at hand, however comforting they are, may not be in ideal shape for long-term health. But no one doubts that Redstone is fully energized to prove otherwise. Just ask Frank Biondi...
...pine-stained study nooks ensure students a high degree of privacy, while the open areas--the Jetsonesque Coffee House and restaurants--are great places to mix and mingle with fellow students, hold informal meetings and grab a quick bite to eat.

...announced the discovery of two new planets orbiting stars outside Earth's solar system. Geoffrey Marcy, a professor of physics and astronomy at San Francisco State University, told the gathering of 1300 scientists that at least one of the new orbs could have water. "That means possible conditions ideal for life," says TIME's Michael Lemonick. "That's a very significant discovery since we now have several examples of large planets orbiting stars like the sun." Lemonick says the new planets, about the size of our own sun, are located some 35 light years (200 trillion miles) away and have...
...animal in a tux. Or maybe he was the first slacker, elevating sloth to a Zen art. The stupefaction he radiated on his TV show--the Golddiggers dancing around him as wildly as Jer used to, Dean standing there like a lamppost after a car wreck--made him the ideal m.c. for the years when American industry and entertainment stumbled into decadence...
