Author Robert Sullivan, who is also editorial director of Life books, shared highlights from the book & offered insights into particular crimes and explain why each was included in the volume - why certain "solved" crimes, like the Boston strangler case, remain inconclusive, and why many big-time cases like the Gardner art-museum theft, and the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa have never been closed.

If you're a parent and you try to get your kids to eat healthy, you know how tough it can be. Now federal lawmakers are considering a national ban on selling candy, sugary soda and salty, fatty food in school snack bars and vending machines.

They're proposing legislation that will offer what they consider to be the best chance to get control of the mountain of high-calorie snacks and sodas available to school children because leaders in the food and beverage industry have had a hand in creating the new standards. Cafeteria food is a separate issue that is controlled by the department of agriculture.

If you've ever had a really stuffy nose you probably noticed that those over the counter cold medicines don't do much to help you breathe. Now the FDA agrees. They say there's little proof that phenylephrine. The active ingredient in those medicines can open your nasal passages. The agency says most of the studies were done in the 60's and 70's. Were small and poorly designed. In fact, seven out of 14 studies of the drug did not show a significant improvement in nasal airflow at the currently used dosage.

Phenylephrine is now behind the counter in drug stores. You don't need a prescription, but you have to ask for it... Right?

Researchers from the university of South Carolina say overweight people who exercise have a lower risk of death than their out-of-shape counterpart even if they happen to be thin.

And more research suggests that antibiotics may NOT help fight sinus infections. A recent British study showed people with sinus infections improved within two weeks, even if they didn't take a standard antibiotic or nose spray. Amoxicillin is the most commonly prescribed antibiotic for sinus infections. But researchers say doctors may need to reconsider treatments.
