...surprisingly, the weakest link. What's recommended is an array of produce, the more vibrant the better. "Be drawn to brightly colored fruits and vegetables," advises Dr. Daniel Nadeau, a professor at Tufts Medical School and co-author of The Color Code: A Revolutionary Eating Plan for Optimum Health, due from Hyperion next March. Dr. David Heber, the founding director of the ucla Center for Human Nutrition and author of the just published What Color Is Your Diet? (HarperCollins), suggests seven servings a day of fruits and vegetables, each from a different color group (to meet your orange-yellow needs...
...Group, a partnership with Ernst & Young designed to apply complexity science to Big Business. In five years, it has completed more than 50 projects for FORTUNE 500 companies, solving thorny problems of supply-chain management for Procter & Gamble (How do you get the soap from factory to home with optimum results for P&G, its retailers, and consumers?), decimalization for NASDAQ and crowd control for Disneyland (How do you avoid long lines at rides...

When the g.o.p. has run both branches, the Dow has limped at less than 1% a year...
...through these hidden treasures. New technologies enable us to find, analyze and manipulate molecules as never before. While today's laboratory scientists can synthesize new molecules from scratch at a pace unimaginable just a few decades back, promising compounds produced by nature's most creative creatures increasingly provide the optimum starting points...
This is not a personal thing. After all, I won back one of these two lost hours somewhere on my flight over the Atlantic between London and Boston. The main goal of changing to DST, however, is to save energy--shouldn't we all be able to find the optimum date for this change and implement it? If we can't all agree on such simplistic issues as when to change our clocks, how will we ever find a consensus on more difficult international problems where joining our available forces is an absolute necessity...
