Sitting on the couch watching TV, my foot started its nervous tapping, irritating my wife sitting next to me. Then it happened. Dancing with the Stars judge Len Goodman commented that the dancer's foot was moving so fast it looked like he had restless leg syndrome. My ears perked up. Having seen advertisements for pharmaceuticals to treat this condition, and not knowing what it was, I searched the Web for "restless leg syndrome" in an act of self diagnosis and began to wonder: What influences our searches for medical conditions...
...late 1990s, he was getting restless with his lucrative business career. His 1994 Senate race against Kennedy had given him a political bug, and though he lost, 58% to 41%, he got close enough in the pre-election polls to give the liberal lion a scare. (The final outcome was Kennedy's closest race since his first election, in 1962.) Then Romney's biggest turnaround opportunity presented itself. In 1999 he was recruited to take over the scandal-ridden Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and dig it out of a nearly $400 million operating deficit by 2002. The zest with...
...Especially worthy of note is the title track. The song, which details long-suppressed passions between two Channel Six news reporters, is both clever (“We belong together / Like traffic and weather”) and infectious.

And Americans grow ever more restless. America’s Iraq policy is drowning in quicksand, yet our president insists that we can still swim out. Just a few more strokes, he says; all that’s required is one more “surge” of effort. But the harder we struggle, it seems...
...Preternaturally restless, Betty left home at 15 and came to Manhattan, hoping to be noticed by people who could get her into show business. By 17, she had hooked up with Vincent Lopez' decidedly demure band, to which she immediately brought verve and volume. One night when impresario Billy Rose was in the audience, did her madcap routine, picking up the elfin Lopez and carrying him about. That stunt earned her roles in the Broadway musicals Two for the Show and Panama Hattie, where, she later said, her one number was filched by star Ethel Merman on opening night. Betty...
