...produced by the adrenal glands, tiny sacs that sit atop the kidneys. The body converts it into testosterone and estrogen in both men and women (albeit in different amounts). What makes DHEA so intriguing is that it seems to act like a biochemical marker for aging. People churn out copious quantities until the age of 30, when the levels in the blood start to decline. By the time they are 80, men and women have less than 5% of the DHEA they had at their physical and sexual peak...
Sarnat sure knows her psychotropic drugs. As the characters are introduced and their dosages cataloged, their mental instability becomes evident. The lead character, Cory (Melissa Gibson '99), is an accident waiting to happen. Because she takes copious amounts of pills, she is hardly aware of what she says or does. She makes the mistake of teasing a pick-up, Mike (Jason Dean '96), and then not consenting to sex. As she undresses and trades clothes with him, she trades identities and gender roles as well. Cory serenades Mike with such sweet compliments that his eventual brutality comes as a shame...
Though the White House has portrayed Armey as the conservatives' attack dog, he was virtually (and uncharacteristically) silent in these negotiations, as he sat taking copious notes and, as McCurry put it, "kicking Gingrich under the table when necessary." Every so often, though, he had to excuse himself and slip out of the room. Three years ago, the First Lady declared that the entire White House would be a no-smoking zone as long as her husband was President. This means heavy smokers such as Armey had to slip out to the Rose Garden colonnade for a smoking break...
...would have been fooled by Joe Waldholtz, her "teddy bear" husband who took in stray dogs, fixed meals for sick friends and called his mother every day. And those pain-killers she needed after her caesarean section kept her from answering questions sooner. All these justifications were marinated in copious tears and stirred slowly until everyone but her was numb. The ordeal set a record in the talk-till-they-drop genre of damage control, easily exceeding the 90-minute event held by Geraldine Ferraro. Afterward, slightly more people believed Waldholtz than before, demonstrating that the myth of women...
Probably the best thing that can be said for the show's copious gallery of Madrid flowerpieces by Juan de Arellano and others from the late 17th century is that they are skilled exercises in a trivial genre; they descend from earlier Dutch conventions-those towering masses of tulips and roses, full of squishy virtuosity; but they lack the architectural grandeur of earlier Spanish works and promptly induce surfeit. After them, the Spanish still-life tradition nose-dived into academism and decor through the 18th century, with the single exception of the Madrid painter Luis Melendez (1716-80), whose massive...
