...problem. "Things are improving," says Barsky, "but there's not a heck of a lot of education about hypochondria in medical school. We teach doctors that their job is to find disease and weed out those who are physically well. They have no time for hypochondriacs." It needn't take as much time as they think, though. "It's not hard to identify a hypochondriac," says Fallon, "if you have the right antenna out." And once a hypochondriac is identified and properly treated, no one is happier than his or her doctor...

About half its assets are in corporate bonds...
...weekend scare headlines in USA Today, you may have fretted that the Academy Awards might cancel itself because of the U.S.-Brit invasion of Iraq. You needn't have. Eighty-six the Oscars? Not with half of haut Hollywood - the elite Democratic Guard - ready to make an antiwar speech, and the rest of Tinseltown ready to extend a hand and congratulate itself with the whole world watching. The film community was ready to give hundreds of millions of viewers a break from all-war-all-the-time TV, and a few winning films the chance to splash a statuette...
