...adds a jangly, hormonal buzz to the bland, institutional setting. Fair-haired twins Corey and Skyler Mann, 16, and their burlier big brothers Anthony and Brandon, 18, who are also twins, plus eldest brother Christopher, 22, are here to have their heads examined. Literally. The five brothers from Orem, Utah, are the latest recruits to a giant study that's been going on in this building since 1991. Its goal: to determine how the brain develops from childhood into adolescence and on into early adulthood...
...make U.S. companies more competitive and the economy more efficient. The ground seems particularly ripe for a plan that would provide universal coverage while relieving U.S. businesses of their suffocating health-insurance responsibilities and does it without socializing medicine.

The disorders reported in the JAMA study included incontinence and pelvic-organ prolapse, the result of pelvic muscles so weakened that they can't hold organs, such as the uterus, correctly in place. Of the women who reported any symptom of a pelvic...
...debate the way he approached boxing as a midshipman, throwing wild haymakers until someone went down. He has offended the clubby Senate with his sailor's mouth, cursing at Pete Domenici of New Mexico over pork, John Cornyn of Texas over immigration and even the Mormon Orrin Hatch of Utah over judges. During McCain's campaign to normalize relations with Vietnam, he nearly came to blows with Charles Grassley of Iowa. Smith served on a tanker in the Gulf of Tonkin, but he says that when he was the Senate's only Vietnam vet to oppose normalizing relations, McCain belittled...
