...vomited, or had a thought about anything below their waist, ever, ever, ever.” No matter how far away our lifestyle moves from the literature of our childhood, some sentimental tie remains. But “nothing below their waist” is no longer the central mantra of successful children’s lit, provoking a backlash in recent years. The 1996 winner of the Carnegie Medal, Britain’s equivalent of the Newbery Prize, was Melvin Burgess’ “Junk,” a novel about a group of heroin-addicted, anarchy...

How else to account for the more than 4 million Americans who got Botox injections last year? The antiaging mantra has spread beyond face creams. Revlon makes a line of "age-defying makeup," and Crest makes "Rejuvenating Effects" toothpaste. Even winemaker Robert Mondavi has jumped into the beauty pool with a luxury antiaging skin-care line, Davi ($175 for a 2-oz. jar), packed with grape-seed extract, an antioxidant...
