...world did you keep from gaining weight on your book jaunt? Portion control. If I went into a number of delis in a day, I would taste everything that was put in front of me, but I wouldn't finish it, because I didn't have enough room in me to finish it. And, you know, regular exercise, but nothing insane. I didn't go on a cleanse or a diet after, and maybe my cholesterol is 30,000 or whatever, but this is food I feel good eating as long as I don't eat too much...
...Some observers say neither side is really in the right; while it's not fiscally prudent to keep temporarily fixing doctors' Medicare reimbursements by going deeper in debt, they argue the problem is more than a decade old and is not actually related to the current health-care reform debate. And indeed, the issue reaches all the way back to 1997, when President Clinton and a Republican Congress altered the complicated formula that dictates Medicare payments.

...stereotype is not far off. A disproportionate number of Italian men enter their 30s - and in some cases their 40s - still completely reliant on their mothers to do their cleaning, cook their meals, iron their clothes and keep a roof over their heads. According to a survey published last year in Psychology Today, a full 37% of men from the ages of 30 to 34 still live with their mothers in Italy. (See pictures of Italians in America...
...Sarkozy's trash-talking of Iran has in fact allowed Tehran to use him as a useful whipping boy, projecting toughness and defiance for a domestic audience, while at the same time keep lines of dialogue open with the U.S. And Tuesday's diplomatic slap was more symbolic than substantial. After all, France remains a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, which gives it a seat at the main nuclear talks with Iran. (Those talks began in Geneva on Oct. 1; the Vienna session was a technical meeting on the terms of a processing deal.) Iran isn't refusing...
