...plays Barry, a bee who's restless to get out of his home base in New Hive City and see the world. (Like Antz, the first DreamWorks CGI feature, Bee Movie is set in Central Park.) His first outside flight lands him in the home of a friendly florist (voiced by Renée Zellweger) and, in the anything-goes premise, they find they can talk to each other. While Barry's parents fret that she's not right for him ("Is she bee-ish?"), he uncovers a plot to enslave his species and, like a good Jewish bee, acts...
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...

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. Lead guitar Jody Porter keeps things moving along with vigorous, sometimes restless guitar riffs right through to the album’s closer, a slightly twangy ditty about seemingly endless plane flights. On the other hand, lovely, mellow ballads like “Fire in the Canyon” and “I-95” assure us that the group?...
