What price perfection and what size?
Article Abstract:
The size of a woman's breasts has become one of the identifying markers of her whole persona, according to US academic Dr Marilyn Yalom, who has written a book about changing perceptions of the ideal breast shape and size over the past 3,000 years. She believes that men retain their infantile obsession with breasts throughout their lives and that they constantly seek to return to a lost paradise. She feels that men cannot help being drawn to the nurturing power of the female breast, and that they particularly like large breasts.

Hidden in that civil servant, an acupuncturist
Article Abstract:
It has become increasingly common in the UK for people in respected, well-paid jobs to decide to make a significant change in their life by studying and then practising holistic medicine. They must adapt to a drop in income, but find that their quality of life greatly improves. They are able to maintain control over how they work, and derive a great deal of satisfaction from bringing healing to others. Studying holistic medicine often takes several years, so it is important to be fully committed.
