Thank, or blame, Ozzy Osbourne, says Surreal Life producer Cris Abrego. The Osbournes "made it possible for us to talk to celebrities," he says. "Five or six years ago, reality TV was a bad word."

Not that any celebrity will admit to such motives. On one Star Dates, Kim Fields--Tootie from The Facts of Life--says of her two blind dates, "If they call me Tootie, they...
Luskin advises focusing on how you will benefit from forgiving someone and having him or her back in your life. Make contact with the firm resolve to avoid placing blame or continuing the argument.

Against this nonsense, I should note that North Korea resumed its secret nuclear weapons program within months after concluding the 1994 Agreed Framework with the Clinton administration. For all five years that South Korean President Kim Dae Jung has pursued...
Researchers have long assumed that it was tobacco's tar and carcinogenic chemicals that were primarily to blame for many lung cancers. But a new study suggests that nicotine also plays a critical role in promoting lung cancer and increasing its risk. If so, what does that mean for ex-smokers who rely on nicotine patches, gums and sprays? "Smokers who can quit should quit," says Dr. Phillip Dennis, lead author of the recent study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. "If you need a supplement, don't do it without medical supervision." Nicotine itself may not be a cancer...
