...crowd, the nasty Sith lord's chest plate changing from green buttons to blue ones in between Episodes IV and V is as significant as Picasso changing from his blue period to his rose period. Those in touch with their dark sides rushed exhibits of tortured druids on a rack, Luke Skywalker's severed head and the Princess Leia slave costume, a fetching metal bikini that says, "Eat your heart out, Jabba the Hutt...
Suspecting that I too would resent smaller portions, I decided to try them out. I made sure I was really hungry--not eating for at least six hours and working out right before I went. My wife and I ordered the cedar-seared salmon pasta and half a rack of baby back ribs from Friday's "Right Portion, Right Price" menu.

...Apart from side effects and a shift toward off-the-rack medicine, objections to the polypill are based on concerns that we're becoming too reliant on drugs: "Walking for 45 minutes most days of the week would give the equivalent benefits of the polypill," says Roger Allan, chairman of the clinical issues committee of Australia's National Heart Foundation.

The teachers favor a hands-on approach; there's very little chalk and talk. Perez says he used to hate U.S. history. "In my old school, they'd just give you a page number...
Also reaching for the top shelf, Brooks Brothers, that classic bastion of off-the-rack suits, will introduce in the fall a special collection created by New York City-- based designer Thom Browne. The starting price for a three-piece suit will be $3,000. And these suits cut a strikingly different figure from the run-of-the-mill boxy gray Brooks Brothers fare. Browne, who is known for his extreme silhouette of tight-fitting shoulders and cropped cuffed pants, delved into the archives and came up with astrakhan-trimmed tattersall coats and gray flannel pants embroidered with fleece...
