Dog saves owner with Heimlich Maneuver -- maybe he just wanted the apple

How astonauts talk to their kids about their jobs --

How to read a lot of books in a short time -- OK, he gets a little carried away, but it did help me come up with a quick way to to decide if a book is worth reading -- partly from what he said and partly from another idea I'd heard somewhere.  So, standing in the bookstore, in less than 10 minutes I can:

1. Skim the table of contents, glossary and index
2. Read anything in bold, titles and subtitles
3. Pick three random places in the book and read one paragraph in each place
