...Meanwhile, scientists hope that more sophisticated testing will eventually help doctors and families make more informed choices about how to treat intersexuals. New research on the genetics of sexual development shows, for example, that several of the genes that influence sex are not even located on the X or Y chromosomes. What it all boils down to, says Dr. Eric Vilain, a professor of human genetics, pediatrics and urology at UCLA, is that the roots of gender identity are much more complex than anyone thought. But Kelli could have told them that...
Toby Keith's gift as a performer is that he can hold a grudge for 11 years, or at least pretend to. Despite the fact that he is country music's biggest male star and his current album, Shock'n Y'all, is hanging around the Top 10 months after its release, Keith is still wounded over not having been nominated by the Country Music Association for top new vocalist--in 1993.

...concern for health officials. But the Democratic candidates aren't about to make it a campaign issue, at least judging by their food fancies on the campaign trail. Wesley Clark packs away Cheetos and Gummi Bears, and when he gets cranky he sometimes demands of an aide, "I thought y'all were getting me a candy bar." An empty Hostess cupcake package can often be found next to John Kerry's bus seat; he munches on the snacks for a late-night sugar rush. Howard Dean is almost Clintonian in his appetites. In Iowa he wolfed down pork sandwiches...
