Father's Day Special: All-Star Animal Dads
National Geographic, June 18-With 66.3 million fathers in the United States, neckties may be flying out of the store this week in anticipation of Father's Day. It's a great time to appreciate Dad for years of service-teaching you to drive a stick, helping you buy your first home, or even showing you how to work a Windsor knot on your very own tie.

Arizona Republic, June 22-To their surprise, Viennese researchers have found that men who have had one life-threatening deep vein clot are much more likely than women to have a recurrence.

Kyrle, an associate professor of medicine at the Medical University of Vienna and lead author of a report published in the June 17 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. "It is counterintuitive to everything we thought," said Lewis J. Rubin M.D., a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego and co-author of an accompanying editorial.

Dallas Morning News, June 22-Before embarking last week on a trip to Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit, Mexican President Vicente Fox sent a bill to Congress that would make Mexican immigrants eligible to vote overseas in his country's 2006 presidential elections.
