...late '80s, when she learned it was on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado, along with everything from acupressure to "nurse-assisted near-death experience." TT bugged her more than most. Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U.S.) don't even touch their patients. Instead, they wave their hands a few inches from the patient's body, pushing energy fields around until they're in "balance."

IVF clinics throughout the world often become the guardians of unclaimed frozen embryos because couples lose contact with the lab either by choice or by not supplying forwarding addresses. Clinics must then decide whether to destroy the embryos after a certain period...
SHOULD WINNone of 'em:still outraged at the fact that The Ice Storm was so egregiously ignored. Basinger's fine, but frankly the least of the outstanding cast of L.A. Confidential. (Then again, that's what I thought about Juliette Binoche and The English Patient last year.) The other contenders suffer from sketchily written parts, with the arguable exception of Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights...
