Short Cuts - Tips for Work, Home and Life
EDITED BY LOREN G. EDELSTEIN
SAY IT WITHOUT
FLOWERS
Centerpieces need not be of the floral sort. Planners are finally
learning that a fish in a bowl or an elegant piece of pottery can
say more than the prettiest pansy.
TOTAL
RECALL
Feeling forgetful? Organizations are hiring memory trainers to help
employees remember everything from the new product line to clients'
names.
HEALTH BEAT: ARE
LONG FLIGHTS KILLING YOU?
The answer is "maybe." Travelers who sit for more than five hours
in planes, cars or trains are at "relatively high risk" of getting
blood clots in their legs.
FOR THE
BOOKSHELF
We review When Money Isn't Enough: How Women are Finding the Soul
of Success by Connie Glaser and Barbara Smalley, and Couples &
Money by Victoria F. Collins with Suzanne B. Brown.
FAST
FORWARD

2000 Personal Computer Fix-It Guide helps average folks fix (or
prevent) glitches.
