...life," Baumeister told the Times. "Mostly, the data have not borne that out." Racists, street thugs and school bullies all polled high on the self-esteem charts. And you can see why. If you think you're God's gift, you're particularly offended if other people don't treat you that way. So you lash out or commit crimes or cut ethical corners to reassert your pre-eminence. After all, who are your moral inferiors to suggest that you could be doing something, er, wrong? What do they know...
...kitchen has become the home's ego, the place where owners choose to strut their stuff. "People treat their kitchens much differently than they did in the recent past," says Russell Morash, creator of the home-renovation television show This Old House. "We've moved away from well-mannered, out-of-the-way appliances to in-your-face kitchen as theater."

As a 63-year-old curmudgeon, I remember how we felt then, and there was nothing humorous about bomb drills or the Cuban missile crisis or the likelihood that going into a shelter wouldn't save you. If we joked about the Bomb, it wasn't back then but well after the fact. And the laughter...
...deputies discounted rates. But the Tijuana discount was far steeper: $1,000 for the surgery, as opposed to $2,000 in Irvine. The union was impressed with the Mexican doctor's references, and Morton, who drove down to inspect the modern Tijuana facilities, was impressed on both counts. "They treat you like doctors used to treat you 20 or 30 years ago," says Morton, who chose the Mexican doctor and was pleased with the results. "They don't talk down to you. They talk with you. I haven't seen medical care like that in years." He no longer wears...
