Studies have suggested that drinking modest amounts of red wine can help the heart. The key appears to be an antioxidant called resveratrol found in grape skins (and, in fact, grape juice seems to be just as effective if not as much fun). Now researchers at Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging say that high doses of resveratrol fed to obese mice seemed to prevent problems usually seen in chubby rodents (and people), including diabetes, liver damage and premature death. But you would need more than 100 glasses of wine a day to get that much resveratrol...
...kind we tend to face in contemporary society, where threats don't necessarily spring from behind a bush. They're much more likely to come to us in the form of rumors or news broadcasts or an escalation of the federal terrorism-threat level from orange to red. It's when the risk and the consequences of our response unfold more slowly, experts say, that our analytic system kicks in. This gives us plenty of opportunity to overthink--or underthink--the problem, and this is where we start to bollix things...
...began like a carnival day. Thousands of people thronged Budapest's old cobblestoned streets wearing red, white and green boutonnieres, tossing red, white and green ribbons into passing cars.

But Ma-ae's village, hidden amid fruit trees and rubber plantations near Thailand's border with Malaysia, is what the Thai military terms a "red zone" of insurgent activity. Soldiers patrolling the area were recently injured by a bomb rigged in the branches of a tree. "The moment you enter my village, all eyes are upon you," says Ma-ae. His father, a well-known local official, angered militants by negotiating the release of state employees being held hostage by a mob protesting the arrest of a suspected insurgent...
...seconds, junior forward Mike Taylor found enough space to cross the puck through the defense as Pelle swooped in on the left for a shot that beat Tiger goalie Zane Kalemba inside the left post.With the Crimson now playing with a one-man advantage, Pelle turned on the red light again when he stuffed in the rebound from sophomore defenseman Brian McCafferty’s one-time slapshot from the point.Harvard’s good fortune ended there, as the Crimson committed six penalties before the end of the period. Princeton capitalized on two of these...
