That takes all of five minutes, and in two weeks Dr. Meirowitz will snake an endoscope--a flexible tube with a fiberoptic core--down my throat (not pleasant but, he assures me, not as awful as it sounds). If he sees Barrett's, he'll bring me back every year for another look and, if necessary, a biopsy. Under this sort of regimen, my chances of getting cancer will drop dramatically...

...phone lines were jammed when I tried to call home. "Please call back later" a pleasant voice told me. I knew that my brother and sister were fine. I felt sorry for those concerned others who were calling home and didn't know...

...North End is not the only answer for those seeking an authentic Italian dinner. Trattoria Pulcinella, a mere 10 minute walk up Concord Street at the intersection of Huron Avenue, is a jewel in Boston's somewhat chintzy crown of Italian restaurants.

...those who judge a CD by its looks, beware. Under its shoddy cover, Best of Planet Groove is surprisingly pleasant and worthy for music listeners of all levels. Beginners will taste a range of classic hip hop, ballad and R&B tunes of '97 while experts may feel nostalgic as they listen to the music that initially lured them to this genre of mesmerizing vocals and rhythms. The selection is both random and diverse, including pieces such as the extremely slow and dangerously sexy "Be Careful" by R. Kelly and upbeat yet sensuous "It's All About...
