...never saw Kennedy emotionally or physically impaired for any great length of time or at any important moment. The medical treatment I witnessed seemed reasonable for a man who had suffered so many years of discomfort. But Dallek's idea that Kennedy overcame pain and his faltering system through nonstop, heroic willpower and feverish pill popping is surely exaggerated. In his public appearances, Kennedy was nearly always working hard and displaying genuine good humor, a far cry from Dallek's image of a constantly pain-ridden biochemical...
...Corporate bonds are looking sweeter than government-issued Treasuries. The spread (difference in yields) between the two types gaped with the nonstop corporate scandals of the past year, as companies had to pay higher yields to entice wary investors. Although that spread has narrowed a little (10-year corporates now pay about 1.3 percentage points more than 10-year Treasuries), it's still attractive, says Joan Payden of Paydenfunds. Bond bulls like Payden argue that a mid-investment-grade corporate-bond fund yielding 6% to 7% isn't overly risky if beating money-market yields is your goal. There...
...advantage in Byng's line of work. At least five major London houses turned Pi down, and although Faber and Faber had made an offer equal to Canongate's, Martel says that it was Byng's personality that made him sign with the Edinburgh outfit.

Doing really well by authors is Byng's strategy for the future. He says, despite persistent rumors that he'll head for London, that...

Is TV becoming a nonstop Mardi Gras of skanks flashing themselves for trinkets? Is any broadcaster still interested in programs that a whole family can watch? The answers are yes--and yes. The former is obvious if you have seen the pixelated nudity on Big Brother 3 and Dog Eat Dog. But a sizable minority of the fall's new programs are, shockingly, about families working out problems with love and clean dialogue...
Teachers say the key to Greg & Steve's music is the physical interaction their rock-flavored songs--such as Can't Sit Still, The Boogie Walk and Conga Line--virtually require. No laid-back lullabies, these beat-heavy, infectious numbers demand nonstop waving, shaking, stomping and singing along. The effect can be therapeutic. "I had a little guy in class who was so quiet and shy, I thought he had a speech impediment," says Mona Kolodzie, a kindergarten teacher at John Muir Elementary School in Contra Costa County, Calif. "Once he heard Greg & Steve, he started coming...
