Cell phones are about the coolest accessory in a preteen's pocket. But are kids who talk on cells taking more risks than adults? A study by British physicians and scientists suggests that they are. Last year's report by the Stewart Commission, a panel of experts convened by the British government to look into cell-phone use, found no direct indication that cell phones are harmful to kids. But the group uncovered enough evidence to urge that children be discouraged from using cell phones and that wireless companies stop marketing them specifically to kids...
TESTOSTERONE It puts hair on your chest and a rocket in your pocket and is credited--and blamed--for everything from rape to the urge to explore new worlds. Four million men in the U.S. with clinically low levels take suppplements. Lately testosterone has gained popularity as a youth boost for both men and women. A new topical formulation, marketed as AndroGel, will make it easier for legitimate users to take the hormone. AndroGel may also expand its use for medically dubious reasons...

...during this postelection flurry, I was struck that the way they handled this period showed again how different they are, though each admirable in his own way. Gore masters the details; when talking about the contest, he would refer to facts and stories he'd downloaded onto his Blackberry pocket e-mail device. Bush is impatient with distracting details, just as he is with the cedar undergrowth on his ranch, which he clears with a vengeance because it distracts his view of the big picture. Gore personally managed his legal strategy and wrote his own statements on his laptop. Bush...
