...become overpowering. And few sexologists would argue that whips and stilettos, in and of themselves, cause sexual compulsion. That's why some mental-health professionals contend that the American Psychiatric Association should remove sadism and masochism from the DSM. "There are no data to support their inclusion," says Charles Moser of the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. "There is no study that shows that having BDSM interests causes distress or dysfunction...
...that doesn't explain why people do it--a question that sexologists can't yet answer.

...scale back its long hauls by 25%. Swissair said it would cut 3,000 jobs at its catering subsidiary, Gate Gourmet, and merge with its regional airline Crossair into a single carrier, resulting in thousands more job losses. "It?s the beginning of a more realistic time," said Sepp Moser, an industry analyst. A prominent industrialist, Ulrich Bremi, was named to head a panel that is trying to raise an estimated $1.9 billion in fresh capital to keep the airline afloat. The Swiss government said it may contribute to the refinancing but insisted the private sector take the lead...
