...those Savage Garden guys sure know what to sing to make a girl swoon. If you've liked what you've heard from their first album ("Truly Madly Deeply"), then Daniel Jones and Darren Hayes' second is a must-buy, especially for any cheesy romantic. With its honest lyrics and catchy tunes, the latest release by the Australian duo is consistent with the quality of their first album (tell me "I Want You," with its chic-a-cherry-cola random lyrics didn't ingratiate itself into your head). If you've liked them, you'll love them again...
...shows off Hayes' falsetto nicely, but it's only a mild reflection of how poetic the rest of the album is. Affirmation deals not only with romance, but also with the real-life consequences of love and the pain that follows it. As their titles indicate, "I Don't Know You Anymore" and "The Lover After Me" aspire to this more reality-based love song, even though the soft beats and harmony make the melody very pretty.

However, during a recent radio interview with Boston political correspondent Andy Hiller, Bush was asked to name the leaders of four major countries--India, Pakistan, Taiwan and Chechnya--and could only come up with the last name of the Taiwanese president. Ignoring the fact that Bush didn't know Lee Teng-hui's full name, we can see that he scored a disappointing 25 percent on that little pop quiz. His academic record in this particular case would actually overestimate the extent of his knowledge, a revelation that can be buttressed by his recent confusion of Slovenia and Slovakia...
When the staff at one of those stuffy medical journals breaks the embargo on one of their articles, you know they're onto something really unusual. And so on Wednesday, The New England Journal of Medicine broke the news that a widely available prescription drug has been found to drastically reduce deaths at the hands of America's number one killer - heart disease. In a rush to make the findings available to doctors, the journal preempted a report scheduled to run in January by posting the findings on its web site. The report, based on a large-scale study...
