...everyone from the President to Matchbox 20. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the person to get the most heat is not Rob Thomas, but Jenkins’ sixth grade teacher. “I was just a kid with dyslexia and ADD and he was a teacher with a fairly low IQ,” says Jenkins. “He told me that he thought that I wouldn’t graduate high school and that like some other guy, I’d probably be in a juvenile hall. I was never in juvenile hall. I’ve never...
...breast milk is the perfect food for baby's mind and body. Studies show that children who nurse may be healthier and happier and, if they breast-feed for longer than seven months, have a higher IQ. Equally important, many believe, is the intense bond that develops between mother and child...
...establish a genial connection between the star and his audience. That's Ferrell's main achievement during this hot run of his. Since his first smash, the 2003 Elf (still his highest grosser), he has kept busy and lucky: building a succession of hits, dabbling in the higher-IQ type of comedy (Stranger Than Fiction), cameoing in his friends' films, occasionally lending his luster to indies nobody sees.

Didn't like the last one much either." (As a non-voter for either Bush or Clinton, he's in sync...
...Wahlberg) could nail a gnat a mile away in a high wind. So he's just the guy to help government officials catch a presidential assassin--and then to be blamed for the killing in a high-level double cross. The film, which is basically Rambo with a higher IQ, is best at giving plausible instructions on how to assemble and detonate weapons of movie distraction. Wahlberg, so muscled up he looks as if he's ready to explode, is serious and committed to the action genre. He could be that youngish star movies have been looking for ever since...
