...when they go through a divorce. I am not pro-divorce. I think people should work harder on their marriages: support each other and weather the rough spots. And divorce is a painful experience. I've never seen a victimless divorce--where the mother, father or child didn't suffer extreme distress when the family broke up. But 75% to 80% do recover...
...enjoy being President? My father said the presidency is not the position to be enjoyed. It is a position where, for the good of the people, one should be prepared to sacrifice and to suffer. So I'm not here to enjoy; I'm here to do a job.

Wine may be great for the heart, but it's been blamed for everything...

In an analysis of the health habits of 70,000 nurses over the past 15 years, researchers from the Harvard School of Public...
ARTHRITIS More than 3 million Americans suffer osteoarthritis--the wear-and-tear kind of arthritis--of the knees. Walking reduces the pain by strengthening the muscles around the joint. Walking in a pool or gently lifting weights can also help. You may need to exercise every other day to give joints time to recover. DEPRESSION A quick walk around the block is one way to get a fresh attitude, but can a program of regular walking do anything for clinical depression? New evidence suggests that it can. Antidepressants work more quickly to dispel serious depression, but at least one study...
