...future, kids should be getting yet more assistance as they sail. At the Stanley Research Center, in Massachusetts General Hospital, investigators are beginning a yearlong study of at least 10 bipolar drugs, comparing the merits of each and the ways they can best be combined. Others are looking at such unconventional treatments as omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil, which may inhibit the same brain receptors that lithium affects. Elsewhere, researchers are running brain scans to determine which lobes and regions are involved in bipolar disorder and how to target them more accurately with drugs. Investigators also hope...
...scared a lot of ordinary people considering retirement who don't have the $300,000 to $1 million you seem to think they need. A modest retirement is possible without working till 80.

...exploits on bookstore shelves this summer--the other is Gregory Gibson's Demon of the Waters--which raises the question, Why is it that we landlubbers can't resist a good sea story, the wetter the better? Nautical narratives have been a cultural fixture ever since Odysseus set sail for Ithaca. Sebastian Junger's best-selling The Perfect Storm made them sexy again, and this summer we're being deluged with nautical tomes...
FANTASTIC VOYAGES. On Dec. 31, 2000, six high-performance, state-of-the-art sailboats set off on the first ever all-out, no-limits sailing race around the world. Melville wouldn't have recognized them: today's racing sailboats consist of two ultralight carbon-fiber hulls stuffed full of computers, with a trampoline strung between them for a deck. In Tim Zimmerman's account of the competition, titled simply The Race, stir-crazy, sleep-deprived crews sail these wind-powered funny cars across the sea at 40 knots (about 45 m.p.h.), swerving wildly around icebergs, battling e-mail viruses...
