...relieve his colitis, an ulcerous inflammation of the upper bowel. Their heavy long-term use can promote osteoporosis--progressive bone disintegration. They also suppress the body's immune system, leading to the kind of serious infections Kennedy frequently suffered. But other common side effects are hair that stays thick and dark, plus skin that turns the yellow-gold of a permanent suntan. Another would be intensified sexual drive. All of which suggest that Kennedy's very Kennedy-ness was partly a side effect of his medication...
...hair. Derrida has impossibly spiky yet pouffy, radiantly snow white Beckett-meets-punk-rocker hair. There had to be some major product here, and I wanted to find out what kind. "Nothing.

The Prestige lies in shame, 145 nautical miles off the northwestern state of Galicia, and its remaining cargo - at least 55,000 tons of thick fuel oil - could detonate in days, weeks or months into a great black tide of viscous goo, unleashing one of the worst marine disasters ever. But if King Neptune is kind, the sunken tanker may just sleep, its cargo solidified, having done all the dirty work it will ever do. Its work...
...Even as the dapper Swedish diplomat was beginning his meetings with Iraqi officials at the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday morning, the vacuum cleaners were blasting into action on the third floor of the former Canal Hotel, now the UN headquarters in Iraq. So thick was the layer of dust, one inspections official told me, that the rodents who had taken up temporary residence in the offices left tracks. "It is quite eerie to walk through there," says the official. "It is like a time capsule. You can tell that the inspectors left in a hurry. There's a tool...
