Tim Burton brings to the otherwise staid genre of holiday films a freshly twisted execution, even though Santa saves Christmas in the end. That’s not to say that I don?...
Think twice before pulling your next all-nighter. A lack of sleep may cause severe psychological disturbances, according to a study of 26 university students—more than half of them from Harvard.

Two Saturdays ago, three Pennypacker residents reached the end of their...
...group has moved onto other restaurants, picketing the businesses and homes of chefs like David Ansill who recently removed foie gras from his menu at his restaurant Ansill after protesters hounded his customers and staff and leafleted his neighborhood for months. "When I talked to him he hadn't slept in 15 days," says foie gras distributor Daguin. "The acts of the protesters are nearly terroristic," she says. Said Ansill wearily: "It wasn't worth it.
