...business was, um, pleasure. I found the movie listings easily enough, but had to drill down several levels for the reviews, and unfortunately there was no way to scan recommended films or buy tickets online. I could see which books were just released and read reviews from a link to barnesandnoble.com but couldn't get a list of upcoming titles. On the other hand, I was able to send a note to my mother reminding her that a new Sarah Brightman CD was in stores. And the daily horoscope was pleasantly flattering. It predicted compatibility with my boss and potential...
...forefront of the "bra-strap headband" movement. Theirs are available at the "accessories" shelf in the women's section and come in two styles. First is the traditional bra strap sewn together at the ends, and the second consists of two smaller multicolored straps that link in the back. The visual effect is difficult to describe-think flower child meets urban grunge. The headbands cost $8, and the woman working in the store, who was not wearing one, said they seemed to be selling very quickly...
...foot bones were discovered in the same geological layer but some 900 ft. away from the skull and teeth. Without physical proximity to link the two finds, and without teeth for comparison, the paleontologists can't be sure that they are from the same species. But like the skull, these fossils show a mix of primitive and advanced traits. Australopithecus afarensis, which lived between 3.6 million and 2.9 million years ago, had forearms that were long compared with its legs, while Homo erectus, which appeared about 1.7 million years ago, had shortened forearms and longer legs, more like modern humans...
...Researchers from Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston went a step further in the study released last week and looked at actual egg consumption among 120,000 nurses and other health professionals with normal cholesterol levels. After eliminating the "bacon effect," the researchers found no link between eggs and heart disease or stroke. The major exception: folks with diabetes, who are already at greater risk for both conditions...
...forebear: ADOLF HITLER. In his forthcoming The Nazi War on Cancer (Princeton University Press), Penn State history professor ROBERT N. PROCTOR suggests that Nazi researchers were the first to recognize the connection between cancer and cigarettes. The prevailing view was that British and American scientists established the lung-cancer link during the early 1950s. In fact, says Proctor, "the Nazis conducted world-class studies in this field." But their findings, because of the abhorrent medical practices used by the regime, were ignored. Hitler, a teetotaling vegetarian, believed healthy living advanced the master race; Jews, Gypsies and smokers soiled the purity...
