...best composer. His first pieces were primitive and primal. The lyrics to ?Don?t You Know? might be maddeningly, mantra-ingly repetitive (?Don?t you know, baby/ Child, don?t you know, baby/ Don?t you know, baby/ Little girl, little girl, don?t you know/ Please listen to me, baby/ Girl, I?m in love with you so?). But those are just words: the first sound on the cut is a wild falsetto field whoop, then a plaintive ?well? exactly an octave lower - as if he were a woman in ecstasy and a man hurting from its lack...

The "emotions" measured sounded like a Postmodern parade of Snow White's dwarfs: Angry, Hopeful, Proud, Worried and Frightened. Angry had almost doubled, from 30% to 57%, since March. Hopeful and Proud...
...pounds. "Have a meeting to discuss the family's health without singling anyone out," she says. "One thing you don't want to say is, 'I've got one skinny kid and one overweight kid.'" Sometimes kids want to talk about a weight problem, but it's best to listen for their cues, says psychiatrist Denise Wilfley of Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. Books can also open up conversations. For ages 9 to 12, Dalton suggests Paula Danziger's The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, Judy Blume's Blubber or Jelly Belly by Robert Kimmel Smith...
