...birth. Hence the surprise when Elizabeth Gould and Charles Gross of Princeton University reported last year that the monkeys they studied seemed to be minting thousands of new neurons a day in the hippocampus of their brain. Even more jarring, Gould and Cross found evidence that a steady stream of the fresh cells may be continually migrating to the cerebral cortex...
...were sometimes excluded from the established social register--Jews, Irishmen and Asians. By 1993, McAuliffe had boosted ninefold the D.N.C.'s club of business leaders who paid dues of $10,000 a year. They became the roots of McAuliffe's money tree, which keeps flourishing thanks to his continuous stream of small kindnesses. No event passes without personal thank-you notes to "my guys," as McAuliffe calls them. He attends out-of-town funerals of their relatives, lines up White House tours for their friends and arranges presidential notes for special occasions. He puts together golfing foursomes with the President...
...yearnings and hunger for allegory induced them to do mock altarpieces, usually triptychs, whose format signaled the presence of a Big Statement. The most ludicrous of these is by the Belgian artist Leon Frederic, whom the spirit moved to paint, in the 1890s, an enormous three-parter called The Stream, an allegory of the Life-Force (Henri Bergson was a hot philosopher circa 1900) in the form of thousands, thousands, of pink, roly-poly babies cascading down Alpine waterfalls and through a forest glade. This condommaker's nightmare took 10 years to paint (no wonder, with all that dimpled piglet...

Call me cynical, but in this era of managed care, I can't help noticing how that income stream also serves to pay for a lot of very expensive equipment. I'm more concerned, though, that some folks might consider a "clean" CT scan an excuse to forget about doing the things that we know improve health, like quitting smoking, shedding excess pounds or exercising more...
...stay for her upcoming Somerville concert, make sure to pick up the nearest approximation to her on-stage beauty, her new album Beautiful Creature. Hatfield's emotions always feel like a dam about to break, with the uncontainable excess spilling over the edge, sometimes in a small stream and other times in a tidal wave. "Slow Motion" is musical elegance, a feather dancing in a calm breeze. "Might Be In Love" is as sincere a love song as I have heard in years, combining touching, flirting and longing. "Daniel" is light pop reminiscent of her early college days with...
