...senior in high school, Kay Redfield Jamison spent her days contemplating killing herself. At age 28, after years of debilitating depression, she overdosed on lithium in a suicide attempt that landed her in a coma.

Among other attractive offerings: Cyderworks cyderworks.com in Portland, Ore., produces a dry blend with a distinct chalkiness. Great ciders for wine geeks are the ones from Farnum Hill farnumhillciders.com in New Hampshire. Caution: Farnum Hill's bone-dry, tannic ciders do best with a hunk of cheddar or even a kasha knish. The maker has just released Summer Cider, an easy drinker, lemony and a bit smoky. Its name is an excellent reminder that lovely cider...
...concerned about the possible role of prostitutes in spreading the epidemic. Curran thinks it may prove significant that "about 15% of the men whose cases remain unexplained have a history of sexual contact with prostitutes." The U.S. Army is also concerned about this risk, according to Dr. Robert Redfield of Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Soldiers, he says, "are largely in the 18-to-30 age group, a time of being most sexually active...
