...took up the baton for the first time on the Dvorak. Too often, his motions in the first movement fell out of kilter with what the group was trying to convey. While they drew out long lines for phrases, Yoo still rocked back and forth much like the ticker on an old-fashioned metronome. In this case, there was little evidence to support the typical claim that the ensemble simply wasn't following the leader well enough.

Investigators at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, examined eight children, ages 14 to 27 months, whose growth had lagged behind their peers'. Each of them was drinking 12 to 30 oz. of juice a day (a standard baby bottle holds 8 oz.). After recording what else the children ate, researchers realized that the fruit beverages accounted for 25% to 60% of the daily consumption of calories. "What would happen to adults who were taking...
