...life on the dog path isn't just a happy game of fetch; scandal surrounds these quadrupeds. The latest buzz concerns a former regular, the now infamous Acey. A few weeks ago, the rambunctious golden retriever allegedly jumped up on a pregnant assistant district attorney of Massachusetts. The expectant mother became upset. Doggie gossip spreads like wild-fire: while the victims returned to court, the community found Acey guilty without a trial. Just the other night, Porter and fellow path denizen Rick Lamb rehashed the incident in hushed tones as a Harvard student hurried past. Watching his dachshund chase after...
...trait, which may explain why it prevails in the animal world. The more males a female prairie dog mates with, for example, the more likely she is to conceive and the larger her litters. Angier reports on data, still disputed, that suggest human females are more likely to get pregnant from sex with an adulterous lover than from sex with their spouse. Besides, if anatomy has anything to do with destiny, you would expect the human female, with her unique ecstasy organ--the clitoris--to be the sexual powerhouse of the species.

That works out to about 2 1/2 years between kids. Conceiving after, say, six months increases by 40% the risk of low birth weight or premature delivery. After 10 years, the risk jumps even higher...
...effort to show good faith, DiCaprio has issued spin-control statements, done photo ops with Buddhist monks and praised the quality of Thai cuisine. Still, the controversy rages on. Daily tabloids--yes, they have them in Thailand too--print reports that he's got his female co-star pregnant (although amused, she denies it), that he's been rude to young fans and that he's so paranoid about being poisoned that he's hired food tasters. "This is something I probably have to get used to--lies culminating in something much more hysterical and out of hand," he says...
