After you've worried about what you can do to fight terrorism for the FBI, about global warming, about whether Alzheimer's is caused by aluminum or genes or tight underwear, about what exactly a Roth IRA is, about whether the Dow can go below 6000, what do you do with yourself for the rest of the day? Is it really time to relax? Do you know who shot John F. Kennedy? Do you know who didn't shoot John F. Kennedy? Do you have material proof that aliens are or are not interacting with humans? How much progress have you made on the life-after-death question? Life before birth? Do you think you can count angels on the head of a pin to put yourself to sleep? Do you think lead deposits in soil cause mass murders? Do you mean to say you have nothing to contribute to advancement of knowledge on these fronts?

Free Lunch's Med of the Week: Prozac (fluoxetine hydrochloride, for *depression,* *bulimia,* and obsessive-compulsive disorder; for *pet mood disorders* (meaning, mood disorders affecting pets), and soon to be used for PMS); most common side-effect: dry mouth. There is news: Eli Lilly is losing its patent after pulling in about $3 billion a year in Prozac revenues. Get ready for marketing of a patented SUPERProzac. Among its many other charms, SuperProzac will not cause the sexual dysfunction that is an uncommon side effect of the present potion.

(death squads take advantage of the chaos to advance their work) * Uzbekistan! (US troops on the way) * China! (Series of bombings in a dozen cities; dissidents arrested weekly in Beijing and elsehwhere; miscellaneous floods, earthquakes, collapses, epidemics. ) * Paris! (strikes) * Korea! (North still threatens to vaporize South) * London! (crime rates rising, public transport impossible) * Iraq! * Sudan! (still starving, still poor, still friendless, still ridden with slavery, but no American bombings this week) * Pakistan! (Kashmir troubles have spilled over to "tourist" routes, with violence against visiting European retirees)
