...just as subversive of the old Britain. In her later life - through the hugs, the tears, the riveting BBC interview of 1995 - and even more in her death, the Princess of Wales turned traditional British values on their head. It was all right to cry! It was bad to suffer in silence, repress your emotions, say, "Steady on, old girl," and generally act in a tight spot like Trevor Howard on the train platform at the end of Brief Encounter. In today's remake, Howard would be bawling like a baby; or - as we now know - like a young squaddie...
...after the dismal liberal hackery of his predecessor, David Dinkins. Giuliani made the city safer. He was an avid, detail-oriented manager, although he couldn't dent the city's school bureaucracy. He was an inspiring leader when the crisis came. He spoke his mind and did not suffer fools even a tiny bit--but then, creative incivility is part of the job description for a successful mayor of New York.

Nonetheless, the latest study offers a backward sort of good news, suggesting that intense menopausal symptoms may be a kind of early warning system, since women who suffer the most also tend to harbor more risk factors for heart disease, from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes to excess weight. "If you have moderate to severe hot flashes, then that should be a signal to check your risk factors for heart disease," says Rossouw...
...individual candidates involved. In Clinton's case, as TIME pollster Mark Schulman points out, "with Hillary the Democratic front-runner, most voters have made up their minds about her, both pro and con. She may have limited upward potential against Republicans. The emerging anti-Hillarys, Obama and Edwards, suffer from low awareness at this point...
