...raves, I found Whishaw?s melancholy teen annoying. He summoned not the shades of Olivier, O?Toole and other famous Hamlets but an adolescent, anorectic Michael Crawford. He has Crawford?s thin, whiny voice, too, ill suited to poetic verse. He begins his big monologue, I swear, by declaring, ?Tuh be or not tuh be.? (It?s ?to,? mate. Rhymes with screw and you.) The performance gets wetter: tears on his cheek, snot peeking out of his nostrils, spume on his lips whenever he pronounces a word beginning with ?p? - and there are lots of them in the soliloquy.

...illness, which often hits men in their 30s and 40s, can be deadly. Latham, 43, is among the 80% of sufferers who recover quickly: released from St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney at the weekend after taking ill on Aug. 17, he is expected to resume work this week. The other 20%, however, deteriorate and may need surgery to remove damaged tissue. In this group, 1 patient in 5 dies, usually from multiple organ failure.

It actively promotes ill health by, among other things, pumping out inflammatory proteins and interfering with the body's ability to use insulin. So it seemed plausible to many physicians that surgically removing belly fat by liposuction could give patients a double benefit: a slimmer physique and a better metabolic profile. That...
...increasingly apparent that President Bush will let the ban on those very weapons expire one month from today. Because, though this president has said that he would sign a renewal should the bill reach his desk, he has enlisted his congressional posse—House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.—to make sure the bill never does. In turn, these men, responsible for bringing the bill to a vote, say they will do so only if the President asks them...
