A Really Bad Hair Day

The report, published in JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association), concluded that men with typical male pattern baldness-that is, spreading outward from the crown or “vertex” of the head-are anywhere from 30 to 300 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack than men with little or no hair loss at all. There was no apparent risk for those with the receding hairlines etched by frontal baldness. And researchers were also quick to point out that what they’d found was a strictly statistical relationship between hair loss and heart disease....

A Reign Of Prayers

John Paul II, though, was the nation’s guest and a powerful magnet for the 190,000 Roman Catholic youths assembled from around the world. The president was tall, young, vigorous and articulate. The pope was stooped and aged, and his right hand shook uncontrollably as he read a halting speech in thickly accented English. Yet it was the pope who drew repeated cheers and chants of “John Paul II, we love you,” as Clinton graciously awaited his turn to speak....

A Rising Young Star

Archuleta was to be married this past June, and left behind her 4-year-old son, Donnie. She was a community kid–Girl Scouts, third-degree black belt in karate. At 7 she’d announced her intention to become the country’s first female president. At 20, she became the first female University of New Mexico ROTC graduate to earn her pilot’s wings. “She wasn’t happy unless she was rising to the top,” says her father....

A S Pitcher Jesus Luzardo Breaks Finger In Unfortunate Video Game Accident

Before the start of Sunday’s matchup vs. the Orioles, A’s starter Jésus Luzardo was placed on the 10-day IL with a hairline fracture in his pinkie finger. How it went down, though, is what’s intriguing and unfortunate: Luzardo fractured his finger before his start vs. Baltimore on Saturday while playing video games, pitching through the injury in an 8-4 loss. A’s manager Bob Melvin explained that it was an accident, and explained how the incident went down....

A Seat For Junior

Now support for this campaign from the Clinton administration could well doom one of the last free rides in air travel. Two years ago a White House commission recommended that the FAA eliminate the waiver for small children. Later this year the FAA will probably propose requiring car-seat type restraints for kids. The rule, if it takes effect, would end the lap routine. Parents can then count on shelling out not just for an additional ticket, but perhaps another $40 for an aircraft-compatible restraint: the airlines don’t supply them....

A Singer Preaches To The Choir

It’s the Pits Liz Hurley may have bared a lot of leg at the London premiere of boyfriend Hugh Grant’s new movie “Notting Hill,” but his costar, Julia Roberts, showed enough skin–and hair–to steal the spotlight. Across the pond, the London tabs chattered endlessly about the ungroomed hair sprouting from the pretty woman’s armpits, which was clearly visible as she waved to fans in her cap-sleeved red frock. Kathie Lee Gifford took Julia to task on her morning talk show, but not everyone was a critic....

A Supreme Disgrace At The High Court Opinion

The brazen act threatened the internal deliberative process on which the Court relies for its day-to-day functioning and spurred illegal protests outside the homes of justices. Those protests attempted to cow the justices into deciding Dobbs the way the pro-abortion mob wanted, culminating in an assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The damage done to the Court as an institution was incalculable, and perhaps irrevocable. At the time, Chief Justice John Roberts called the leak a “singular and egregious breach” and a “betrayal of the confidences of the Court,” and ordered an investigation into its provenance....

A Teen Siren S Calling

“Discovered” last year by a modeling agency talent scout, Junqueira spends most of her time these days negotiating with agents, posing for magazine covers, granting interviews–and learning Japanese. She recently returned from two months in Japan, where she modeled for department stores, Web sites and mail-order catalogs. With her flowing chestnut hair, sparkling brown eyes and impish smile, she quickly won over her clients. “Emi-chan”–charming little Emi–they called her. Last week she boarded a Japan Airlines flight again, and if all goes according to plan she will spend the rest of her teens flying between Brasilia, Tokyo and Osaka....

Aaron Judge Hit 62 Home Runs Will He Now Get A Record Breaking Contract

With his historic season, Judge may also break another record when he becomes a free agent this offseason. Contract experts who spoke with Newsweek believe the slugger could very well not only sign the biggest deal in baseball but perhaps in all of sports history. Judge turned down a contract extension from the Yankees at the beginning of the 2022 season that was reportedly worth $213.5 million. As a result, he stands to land a bigger offer when the season concludes, especially since many baseball fans argue that his 62 home runs should represent the record for all of baseball and not just the American League....

Aaron Rodgers Calls Vaccinations Too Political Stances Changed When Biden Entered Office

While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers spoke about his decision to not get vaccinated against the coronavirus and said that the “problem” with discussing the COVID-19 vaccine is because it’s “so political.” “Health should not be political,” Rodgers said.
