...other hand, Denver Broncos starting safety Steve Atwater swears by his magnetic mattress pad. "I don't know if it's a placebo effect," says Atwater, who has tried taking shark cartilage to little effect, "but it's working for me." Jim Colbert, a top winner on the Senior P.G.A. Tour, attributes his success to the dollar bill-size magnets taped to his ailing back. And Washington Redskins wide receiver Henry Ellard has been using magnets on his legs for years...
...Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Like many cities, San Francisco is a transportation nightmare regardless of whether Critical Mass is stalling traffic. On a recent midday trip along Market Street, it took half an hour to drive four blocks. But you can't blame city hall for that, says Steve Heminger of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, a regional planning agency. Around the country, about 70% of all workers get to the job driving alone in a car. In San Francisco, it's only 38%. Heminger points out that San Francisco lost two freeways in the 1989 earthquake and has a rusting public...

And take any excuse you need to revisit the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) with Kevin McCarthy -- or better yet, the 1978 remake with Donald Sutherland, set near Cupertino. Because dogs and children know: that wasn't the real founder of Apple...
BOSTON: MacWorld bomb shell? Steve Jobs, Apple's not-chairman, mentioned in the closer on his address this morning, that, oh yes, by the way, Microsoft is going to be investing $150 million in the troubled Cupertino company. (sound of the Macintosh faithful fainting...) What does Bill Gates get for his money? A stock that at 19 3/4 is a relative bargain in today's hyper bull market. More important, keeping Apple afloat allows Gates to continue to use the alternative to Windows as his hole card in federal antitrust investigations. But looking down the long road ahead, does Bill...
