...more intimate link between Enron and the Bush team, one more unwelcome story at a time when the President is hoping that his big speech will change the subject back to heroism and unity and patriotism, the themes that have helped make him so popular of late. But even Bush's poll numbers--playing a game that Enron accountants know so well--are beginning to tell two different stories at the same time. For a President with two wars to fight and a 77% approval rating in the new TIME/CNN poll, the Enron story has been up to now little...
With that history, Israelis have been infuriated by the muted world reaction to the Karine A seizure. It took a visit to Washington by a high-ranking delegation from Israeli military and naval intelligence to get the State Department to link Arafat's Authority to the arms, though the U.S. won't tie Arafat directly to the boat. Arafat's advisers say he expects the U.S. to use his embarrassment over the Karine A to make him crack down on Hamas and another violent group, Islamic Jihad, a long-standing demand by Israel and the U.S. "I don't envy...
...polyphenols in green tea called catechins may inhibit the growth of new blood vessels, which some scientists think may help prevent cancer by depriving early tumors of nourishment. (Catechins may also prevent DNA damage caused by carcinogens from occurring in the first place.) Indeed, population studies in China link drinking green tea daily with a lowered risk of stomach, esophageal and liver cancers. Studies from Japan show that consuming 10 cups a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. If that much tea seems hard to swallow, consider using it is a mouthwash; reports suggest that swishing green...
...give their brains to science. A long-term study of 678 School Sisters of Notre Dame showed--surprisingly--that something as simple and non-medical as a handwritten missive, penned in youth, may be able to predict a person's chances of getting Alzheimer's later in life. That link is still quite controversial; less so are some of the study's other findings, such as the protection the brain apparently gets from higher education pursued in young adulthood or from engaging in constant mental activity like playing card games or teaching during one's golden years...
...love. But there are some very useful, innovative touches, like the jog dial stereo volume knob on the steering wheel. The biggest problem I had: it took several days to figure out how to set the clock. At one point I pressed the "OnStar" button that offers a wireless link to a central operator for nearly all GM cars these days, but the CTS is so new that even the technician at the other end of the line couldn't help...
