...than to believe a lotion could turn back time. But two years ago, when a few fine wrinkles appeared above her lip, she decided to dip into the plain little jar of Creme de la Mer at the Neiman Marcus counter. Impressed that it was created by a NASA scientist, she paid a lot--$85 for a 1-oz. jar--and is happy to keep on paying. The pesky lines haven't gone away. But they also haven't got worse. And now she sounds like the saleslady who first hooked her on the product. "You should see my skin...
...scientist, he is definitely talking miracles. Many national polls had Mr. Buchanan pulling less than 2 percent of the popular vote and Mr. Hagelin less than 1 percent, and the popular impression of this week's madness as a meaningless two-ring carnival is unlikely to lend the two comabatants any additional credibility. (In one of the festivities' few moments of self-awareness, Reform elder statesman Russell Verney described the big picture thusly with mordant humor: "It's a close one, all right.

Statistical uncertainty in genetic studies, disagreement over diagnostic guidelines and the sociology of genetics isolates show that there is humanist method to the scientific madness of neurogenetics. Hollywood producers: I think that "The Secret of NIMH" is due for a sequel...
...high school, homework improves academic achievement. But, argue authors John Buell and Etta Kralovec in The End of Homework, "both research and historical experience fail to demonstrate the necessity or efficacy of ever longer hours of homework." Kralovec, an educational researcher and former teacher, and Buell, a political scientist, note that not a single study conclusively establishes homework's advantages. And, says Kralovec, think about the trade-offs--"all that time you didn't spend with your grandmother, doing community service, reading the newspaper, playing outside...
