...Wide awake now, I thought about Roger. I saw a handsome, husky guy smiling with his confident, slightly superior mien, strolling around the small, rich town of my boyhood. I heard his low hearty laugh, remembered his cutting, just off-color humor. Then that limbic system-memory link kicked in - the thing that brings you right back to your kindergarten classroom when you get a whiff of a crayon. I smelled Roger: Chivas Regal. I called my nurse back. This was always an order that always made them nervous. "Two ounces spiritus vini vitis," I said, referring to the pharmacy...
...there appears to be some sort of correlation between type 2 diabetes - the type that's associated with obesity, and which often appears later in life - and Alzheimer's disease. Now a number of brand-new studies, presented at a major Alzheimer's conference in Madrid, has strengthened that link. In one, Swedish researchers looked at 1,173 people over 75 and concluded that people with borderline type 2 diabetes - that is, chronically elevated blood sugar - were about 70% likelier to develop Alzheimer's than those with normal sugar levels. Another study, based in the U.S., looked at the medical...
...Finally, Eros published a piece that was erotic and artful: an eight-page "photographic tone poem" by Ralph Hattersley Jr., called Black and White in Color: African-American guy, European-American gal, both nude.

Several commentators wondered at the time, and I do now, whether the essay would have been deemed so objectionable if the two people had been...
...didn't take long for a link between Hizballah's raid and the events in Gaza to be established."In order to fulfill a promise to free the prisoners and detainees, the Islamic Resistance captured at 9:05 a.m. two Israeli soldiers at the borders with occupied Palestine," Hizballah said in a statement. They offered a deal - Shalit and the two new Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian and Hizballah prisoners in Israeli jails. Later in the day, Hizballah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said the Israeli soldiers "will only return home through indirect negotiations and an exchange of prisoners...
...were guilty. Townspeople produced shell casings, which they claimed to have found on the street, of the same kind used in the soldiers' new Springfield rifles. A number of eyewitnesses also claimed to have seen black soldiers in uniform on the streets during the shooting. But no evidence could link anyone to the incident, and subsequent investigations revealed the eyewitnesses to be unreliable-a nearly blind man claimed to have seen soldiers 150 ft. away on the moonless night-and heavily biased. "Citizens of Brownsville entertain race hatred to an extreme degree," said Major General F.C. Ainsworth, the Army commander...
