We x-ray their hands when they're quite little, and from the length of the bones we can predict how tall they will grow to be.

In the U.S., Fox paid about $1 million an episode for American Idol's 25-show run, and such a sum seems very reasonable in retrospect. Ford, Coca-Cola, AT&T, Clairol and Old Navy, among others, have signed on as advertisers for this year's version...
