...case that drives this Southern-fried page-turner revolves around a dying cotton dynasty, an OxyContin-popping former football star and tapes of a late-night blues session that have been missing for 50 years. Fitzhugh's dialogue is as cool as a pitcher of iced tea, and his characters are just over the top, like a Carl Hiaasen cast plucked from the Everglades and planted, as Dylan would put it, out on Highway...
...Before considering any diagnostic tests, I decided to revisit Dylan's dietary history. When asked just how picky an eater Dylan was, his mom rolled her eyes and said, "This child lives on jelly sandwiches and iced tea." How much iced tea?

Morris famously broke the news of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's historic 1953 ascent of Mount Everest (the reporter himself made it two-thirds of the way up). After publishing seven books...
...even more important than vitamins. Known as phytochemicals, they fall into two classes: carotenoids, found mostly in orange-colored vegetables (beta carotene is the best known of the more than 600 carotenoids); and flavonoids--some 4,000 of them, found in, among other things, onions, broccoli, red wine and tea (green, black and oolong, but not herbal...
