...force of nature. Learning that his nickname is "a metaphor for change" gives me greater respect for him. But I take issue with his claim that Kanye West's music is "aimed at a straight pop audience." West's hip-hop is less gangsta and therefore softer, but it is also more substantive. If anything, gangsta rap is more pop. I love a good 50 Cent beat, but I keep waiting for him to say something more meaningful. Instead of competing to sell records, 50 Cent and West should collaborate and sell even more! Ezra Parzybok, NORTHAMPTON, MASS...

...ingrowth method works by inserting a porous metal implant straight into the end of the remaining bone.

That is exactly what Noel Fitzpatrick, a veterinary surgeon from Farnham, England, found when he successfully performed the procedure on a pawless pup named Storm a little more than a month...

Driven by this code Afghan suicide bombers are more likely to go after hard military targets rather than softer targets such as markets or restaurants as happens in Iraq. The deadliest bombings in Afghanistan over the past two years have been the work of Arabs, not Afghans...
Business has wised up. Now some auto manufacturers train salespeople to aim their pitches at women, going for the softer sell rather than the hard-nosed, macho wrangling of yesteryear. More than 100 travel companies have started to take women-only trekkers across deserts, up mountains and into volcanoes. Ace Hardware (where the slogan "Home of the Helpful Hardware Man" has been replaced by "Home of the Helpful Hardware Folks") now offers drills that are lighter with easy-grip handles, greenhouses full of flowers, and walls painted in pastels. They also run special seminars for women, who make...
