...MISSING WINK Men, feeling tired all the time? A report shows that the amount of time guys spend in deep sleep declines with age, so that by 50--much younger than expected--some men spend no time at all in slow-wave sleep, the most restful stage. Less restful sleep may lead to that other indignity of aging: the middle-age paunch. That's because the body needs slow-wave sleep in order to produce a growth hormone linked to lean tissue. That's enough to keep a guy awake at night...
...stacks the show's morality in their favor like a Carnegie Deli sandwich. Their former boss (Moffat) is a Harvard-accented, corrupt and racist toff who would twirl his mustache if he had one. "Only a child," he purrs, "would think that the world doesn't work with a wink and a nod and a handshake between old pals smoking Cohibas." His grandson and the renegades' leader, Ditto (George Newbern), is Bull's Luke Skywalker, out to escape Grandpa's musty clutches. In the year's most cornball TV speech outside a convention, he urges his Rolex rebels...
...when you can pick the pockets of the world's best golfers anytime you're on the course with them, that must feel pretty good too. Also, it is surely gratifying to know that you can make any child's day by merely flashing a smile or a wink. The danger will come if Tiger copes with the planet's increasing demands on him by turning inward. When asked by TIME, Woods said he doesn't worry much about how the public perceives him. "When I'm out there, in life in general, I just want to be me. Tiger...
...hurt. It's pain recollected in wisdom. "If you ever loved me the way I loved you/You would be lonely too." "As much as you burned me, baby/I should be ashes by now." Womack attacks these bruised sentiments in a voice that carries odd echoes: Dolly Parton without the wink and giggle, Alison Krauss after three years of therapy. Womack can play a tune choir-girl straight or give it a twist of bluegrass (which she can not only sing but also singe with wildfire intensity). Each rendition has the clarity of a soul that realizes loss is a form...
...guns were stolen from honest owners. If, in fact, dealers were selling the majority of crime guns over the counter in face-to-face transactions with crooks' shills - some of whom clearly couldn't tell a revolver from a semi-automatic - then the entire industry might be accused of wink-and-nod profiteering, rank incompetence, or both. The trend is likely to escalate. Since it came online in 1998, the FBI's computerized National Instant Check System has foiled 130,000 gun buys by felons and other disqualified people, and that, says Delfay, "makes straw transactions much more critical...
