...after another lengthy hearing last night, this time with an attorney for condominium developer David Zussman, Vellucci said he was beginning to "smell something fishy" in the deal arranged between Zussman and the 28 tenants seeking permission to purchase their apartments as condominiums...
...Practice is a sunshiny New York institution that practices the latest feline medicine. The smell of incense masks cat aromas in a waiting room of wicker, blond wood, indestructible cushions and soft music. An office visit is $30, and a complete workup on a cat, with blood and other tests, can cost $100. Owner Dr. William H.

The skin of the cat heals so fast that one common complaint is abscess: the skin is repaired before the infection beneath has cleared...
Enough of Atkins, Stillman and Scarsdale. It may be that the Boring Diet works as well-or better.

Last week, at an international conference on "The Determination of Behavior by Chemical Stimuli," a pair of biologists reported findings suggesting that any tedious diet helps weight loss. If it were possible to eat one food all the time, according to Israeli Nutritional Biochemist Michael Nairn, all but the genetically obese...
...Magnen's work shows that when their diet is monotonous, rats eat only what they need, but overeat and become fat when fed a different flavor every 30 minutes.

In other words, even if a varied meal and a one-food meal are equal in size and good taste, the varied meal may prove more...
Psychobiologist Gary Beauchamp of Philadelphia reported that the odor of female guinea pig urine is such a powerful stimulus to the male that it loses interest in mating if its sense of smell is impaired. When Beauchamp removed the male's vomeronasal organ, which relays odor information to the brain, sexual activity declined. In the wild, after the removal of the vomeronasal organ, even guinea pigs near their mates sometimes cannot find them...
