...lust or trust bloom a little faster. That's not unlike the drug ecstasy, which triggers the release of serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin in the brain and heightens users' feelings of trust and intimacy, even among complete strangers. Concerns that oxytocin might be similarly abused as a recreational drug seem unfounded, however, given that the hormone doesn't produce a high, says zoologist Sue Carter of the University of Illinois at Chicago, who pioneered oxytocin research in voles...
...Scotia, a five- college town with dozens of hometown bands, as well as Portland, Oregon -- Gus Van Sant-land and a grunge Mecca in the making. But formulas aren't foolproof. San Diego, with its proximity to L.A. and its image as a dumb blond of a city, would seem like an improbable locale for a thriving anti-Establishment culture. But in fact it has spawned bands with names like Rocket from the Crypt and rust; both have signed with major labels.

...locked in a symbiotic relationship in which each needs the other to create a new South Africa. To beget a democratic country, De Klerk and Mandela must bring their respective and historically antagonistic followers to the table of accommodation. The prize seals that partnership.

...surprise. Not a San Franciscan eye batted while the makers of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home used a hidden camera to record man-in-the-street reaction to Kirk's glowing wine-red suit or Spock's white robe and ear- covering headband.

''One lady even approached me after watching the shoot,'' reports Leonard Nimoy (Spock), ''and said, 'I thought you were a monk or a priest.' '' In the latest, $23 million installment of the TV-turned-movie series, slated for December release...
...past quarter-century is unacceptable, indeed immoral. Why not, he asked in his famous Star Wars speech, switch from a policy of mutual assured destruction (MAD) to one of mutual assured survival by creating a defensive shield that would ''render nuclear weapons obsolete''? Although that dream might seem unassailable, the strategic realities involved raise a far more unsettling question: Will the attempt to create a nuclear shield enhance stability or undermine it? In attempting to rid the planet of doomsday weapons, might SDI merely increase the risk of their use? At the TIME conference on SDI, it was apparent that...
