Pterostilbene may sound more like a spelling-bee stumper than a lifesaver, but if early studies prove correct, this compound, found in abundance in blueberries, could be the foundation of a natural remedy to reduce cholesterol. In head-to-head lab studies against a cholesterol-lowering drug, pterostilbene was just as active as the pharmaceutical in dampening the cholesterol-producing functions of rat liver cells. And because pterostilbene targets a specific lipid-triggering receptor, scientists anticipate that it will have fewer side effects...

Any amendment to the U.N. charter would have to be approved by two-thirds of the U.N.'s member countries, including all of the permanent five, as well as two-thirds of the national legislatures in those approving countries. That might prove difficult, since each contender for a permanent seat could see its hopes scuttled by jealous neighbors. India will be opposed by Pakistan, and Japan could be thwarted by China. Italy opposes Germany's candidacy, while Argentina and Mexico oppose Brazil's. Africa's leading candidate, South Africa, will have...
