...just a picture of a cookie, not the real thing. Those kids were able to wait longer than the kids in control groups. (As one child said, "You can't eat a picture.") But De Laurentiis' and Goin's experiences suggest that we might try another strategy, one whose short-term risks may impart a long-term lesson: let your lizard brain eat all the cookies you want until you realize how awful you feel. De Laurentiis says she was "constantly sick" in Paris. Goin, who is often recognized by fellow chefs at top restaurants and then bombarded with extra...
...hunting for a short-term getaway rather than a permanent residence, Homeaway.com which launched last week, might hit the spot. The easy-to-navigate site has 60,000 vacation-rental listings in some 90 countries--ranging from a rustic North Carolina cabin for $200 a week to a $45,000 Jamaican pleasure palace.

...can’t put my finger on the moment my impressions became more positive, but on the brink of graduation, my spirit for this school is stronger than ever. It’s not the facts my classes briefly stored in my short-term memory that have sparked the change. I’m sure I’ve forgotten much of the information I learned in lectures past. Though Harvard’s reputation rests on its academic prowess, courses here have not always been as fulfilling as I would have hoped...
