Indeed, despite what the Swedish and Adventist studies suggest, there's evidence that in some families, at least, genes exert pretty powerful effects on life-span. The centenarians registered in the New England Centenarian Study, for example, showed no consistent patterns in diet, exercise or healthy habits that could explain their extended years. About 20% had smoked at some point in their lives, and some had eating habits that should have made them obese or unhealthy but somehow did not. At least 10% to 15% had a history of heart disease, stroke or diabetes for more than 20 years. Something...
Industry observers also suggest that teens are turning to more traditional styles as an antidote to the uncertain times we're living in. "As a society, we're running scared and looking for security," says David Wolfe, creative director of the Doneger Group, a fashion-trend-forecasting company. "For young people, that manifests itself in classic, preppy clothes. It means the end of the pop-tart influence in fashion. Britney Spears may have to ride off into the sunset...
That is not to say men resent the transformation. Data from focus groups, conversations with men around the country and a poll conducted by the men's cable network Spike TV and shared exclusively with TIME suggest that men, most interestingly those in their early 20s through early 40s--the first generation to come of age in the postfeminist era--are adjusting to their evolving roles, and they seem to be doing so across racial and class lines. But in straining to manage their responsibilities at work and home, many men say they don't feel an adequate sense...
...about the transmigration of souls. In Cloud Atlas, his third novel, the prodigiously talented Briton, 35, tries to do with time what he earlier did with space. Six tales crisscross--moving between Belgium in 1931 and a genomic future in which North Korea has discovered genetic engineering--and so suggest that all times and not just all people are linked by six degrees of separation. It's no coincidence that one composer here is writing a "final, symphonic major work, to be named Eternal Recurrence"; another is composing a Cloud Atlas Sextet...
...presumptuous of Nancy Gibbs, in her Essay "And on the Seventh Day We Rested?" to suggest that the U.S. needs to have Sundays off as a day of rest [Aug. 2]. A large part of the U.S. population is Muslim, and the Islamic faith designates Friday as the day of prayer. Jews observe the Sabbath from sunset on Friday until sunset on Saturday. So how can we expect a pluralistic society like America's to settle on just one day of rest? When blue laws restricting what could be sold on Sundays were enforced, Jewish and Muslim Americans could...
