...don’t, the conventional wisdom says, and neither side of the divide wants much to do with the other.Except for Alex Ross, that is. His book manages not just to reach across the vast chasm between classical and popular music, but also to make the distance seem shorter, the depth of the chasm shallower, and the passage across easier. He told a reporter for The New York Observer last month that “the whole point [is] to not be too in-your-face or condescending”—to present your argument simply, without...

"It's ironic that as we're getting a broader picture of how important stress levels are to physical health, we're simultaneously cramming appointments into shorter and shorter periods of time," says Dr. Daniel Brotman, director of the Hospitalist Program at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Brotman, too, believes an undeniable link exists between stress and heart disease. But given that most people cope with stress just fine, he says it's unrealistic to ask overworked doctors...
