Book Corner
Five Long Island Authors weigh in on some the summer beach reads available.

If a novel about a guy who talks to dogs sounds too whimsical for your taste, consider this: former David Letterman Show writer Merrill Markoe, the creator of Stupid Pet Tricks, goes beyond clever punchlines in this wise and witty book. Sure it's bitingly funny (or whatever other dog-inspired pun jangles your leash), but Nose Down, Eyes Up is also a slyly perceptive exploration of love, commitment and family.

Health
Women’s Health Update includes information about eating healthfully, predicting women’s cancer risk, why women are more likely to have adverse effects from prescription meds and how heating, air conditioning and carpets may be bad for your health.

Most people have taken a prescription medication at one time or another, but according to a report from the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in Rockville, Maryland, not only do women take more medications during their lifetimes, women are more likely to suffer from adverse drug events than men.

Feature
An exclusive interview with Raquel Welch.

Much to the surprise of fans and industry insiders, Welch’s daily life in the ‘60s and ‘70s was quite different than one would imagine. The woman who burst onto the Hollywood scene was known as Raquel Welch, but she was an austere contrast to Jo Raquel Tejada, single mother. Until her film debut, Welch was a struggling actress who arrived in Hollywood with no car, $200 in her pocket and no connections.
