...SCIENCE AND SOCIETY MEDICINE: Why Vioxx was yanked off U.S. pharmacy shelves FASHION: Milan's borrowing spree...
...furtive lover capable of murder. But that's no great stretch for Gael García Bernal.

But they insist they love to buy books, and in 20 minutes of panther-like movements around the store, they indeed spend $352.77. But the most impressive part of the shopping--more than their speed or the way they use Amazon as a verb, or that they buy two of David Sedaris' books and then one of Jonathan Ames' because I point out that "he's funny...
