...hard stuff--about 6% to 8% alcohol, refreshing and delicious. That's right. Forget beer; from colonial times to the early 20th century, hard cider was the American buzz of choice. Thanks largely to the efforts of Judith and Terry Maloney, a woodsy, sixtysomething couple, cider has staged a comeback...
More than 20,000 fans huddled in Arthur Ashe Stadium Court until past 1 a.m. this morning because they wanted something. They wanted to see the 35-year-old Agassi win (he did, capping off an improbable 3-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (8) comeback with a blistering forehand that kissed the corner).

Research showed that addiction did not necessarily result from aggressive, well-managed opioid therapy. In the 1990s, as the specialty of pain management grew in hospitals and universities, opioid use spread from cancer and end-of-life patients to the chronic-pain victims of industrial accidents, car crashes and conditions such as migraines, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis...
