...early: the race may begin at 12, but we start partying at 10," as their motto goes) as we crest Heartbreak Hill after 21 miles. Among the BC race watchers, the drink of choice has always been that most enduring of college carbohydrate supplements: beer. The students even offer a patriotic cup of Sam Adams to unsuspecting runners as they struggle by, waiting with drunken anticipation for their gagging reaction (runners beware). Although not exactly the energybooster every weekend runner looks for, it's nice to know that people will be helping us celebrate the first and finalday of being...

At 49, Love, a vocal and controversial critic of hormone-replacement therapy, has entered perimenopause.

...association with motivational infomercial gurus, got a sorely needed cultural seal of approval when Hillary Clinton received a Grammy Award for her spoken version of her book, It Takes a Village. The market for audiobooks is booming. That may be, in part, because they are compact and convenient and offer pseudo intimacy with sages and celebrities. The forthcoming John F. Kennedy: A Journey to Camelot by Paul Werth will be read by Sidney Poitier and Caroline Kennedy.
