...shot of oxytocin is what you want, there are other, more natural ways to boost the hormone's production. Massage, petting a dog, even eating food with a friend can trigger the chemical's release, says Zak. So can sensorimotor, or "mind-body," therapies, like breathing exercises and yoga, which help people cope with their emotions by controlling their body's physical reaction to stress and fear. "We should look at other ways to juice the system without having to put two spoons of liquid up your nose every four hours," Zak says...
...speaks his mind, keeps several steps ahead of his superiors and violates just about every other rule of the road for diplomats in the U.S. foreign service. Yet within four days of his arrival in Mogadishu last week, Robert Oakley had succeeded in shrugging off America's preoccupation with capturing clan leader Mohammed Farrah Aidid, arranged for the release of two hostages and hammered out a tentative cease-fire. Not a bad week for a man who, if the State Department handed out speeding tickets to freebooting statesmen, would have spent much of his 34-year-career in traffic court...
...base closings and the gay controversy. So what if there are Americans unaccounted for? There are 300,000 Vietnamese missing. Let's get on with commerce. We're talking 69 million consumers here.

While I was reading the report on Margie Profet's ''radical theory,'' which proposes that menstruation protects against sperm-borne infection ((HEALTH, . Oct. 4)), an obvious hole came to mind. Human females may engage in sexual intercourse, and thereby expose themselves to potentially harmful micro- organisms, at any time during their menstrual cycle. If a woman were to have sex the day after her menstrual period ended, it would be another three weeks before her uterine lining was again sloughed off, which is more than enough time for an infection to set in. Because of this constant risk of exposure...
...Dark Knight's unprecedented box-office might is "mind-boggling for us," says Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution for Warner Bros. Pictures. (TIME and Warner Bros. are both subsidiaries of Time Warner.) The film benefited from a unique mix of factors beyond the usual superhero movie hype, including a buzzed-about performance by the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, perfectly pitched marketing, agile distribution and gas prices that have made a night at the movies an attractive alternative to a summer road trip. It also helps that The Dark Knight, as most critics and audiences attest...
