...applause was muted, however, when the CSPI turned from wolf-in-sheep's-clothing snacks like popcorn to such self-evidently fatty fare as Mexican and Italian food. The group's unsurprising findings (tacos and lasagna can be bad for you) seemed less memorable than their breathless sound bites. (Fettuccine Alfredo, for example, was called "a heart attack on a plate.") "A lot of this stuff makes sense," says economist James Bennett, author of The Food and Drink Police. "But sometimes it seems they're just out to grab headlines...
...outings that include a gourmet picnic and backcountry expeditions. Peg and Les Regenbogen, Easterners who have vacationed in Vail for the past 10 years, converted from cross-country skiing while there. As they glided through the mountains on snowshoes, they were thrilled to sight golden eagles, bighorn sheep and herds of elk. Les, 67, recommends Vail because "you can start at 10,000 ft. and get into the wooded areas, listen to the aspens creak as the trunks move back and forth, and enjoy the freedom and spectacular views."

Little is known of the life and development of Giotto di Bondone, born around 1267 to peasants in the bucolic valleys outside Florence. Legend says the country boy tending his flocks was discovered by the painter Cimabue, who saw him draw a fine sheep upon a rock.

ASPs are chronic troublemakers whose symptoms vary greatly in severity: they can be constant money borrowers, black sheep, pathological liars, white-collar criminals or, at the most severe end of the continuum, murderous felons. They are impulsive and grandiose, don't learn from punishment, are poor self-observers, blame others for their problems and see themselves as victims. Their primary hallmark is a striking inability to feel empathy...
Even in this gilded era of unsurpassed profit for biotech and pharmaceutical conglomerates, one company always struck analysts as something of a black sheep. The Monsanto Company, whose subsidiary Searle makes the wildly successful arthritis drug Celebrex, has been casting around for a merger partner for over a year, and now, executives say, the search is over. Monsanto will merge with Pharmacia & Upjohn, joining the ranks of other mega-merger firms like Astra-Zeneca and Rhone-Poulenc-Hoechst, to form a corporation worth about $52 billion. Why did it take so long for Monsanto to find its mate...
