Galloping galaxies! Here come that midget robot and the tin man with the English accent again, along with Luke, Han Solo and the rebellious rose of Alderaan, Princess Leia. Star Wars is back, but with a difference. This time it is on National Public Radio, and instead of being presented within the confines of a two-hour movie, it has been expanded into a serial: 13 half-hour cliffhangers...

The main finding: those who had consumed large amounts of cholesterol and saturated fat suffered upwards of a third more deaths from heart disease than those who consumed relatively small amounts. Says Epidemiologist Richard Shekelle of Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's, author of the report in the New England Journal of Medicine: "If you look at the weight of the evidence over the years, then our study reinforces the conclusion that dietary cholesterol affects the level of cholesterol in the blood and increases the risk of heart disease...
