This weekend from home, I will send in a summary of the research on the link between wearing a bra and breast cancer, published in the book "Dressed to Kill." For now, I'll just say that while the research methodology and sample size and statistical analyses all leave something to be desired, and the writing is repetitive repetitive repetitive and redundant (and they repeat themselves a lot, too) --- nevertheless, I'm taking my bra off as soon as I get home, and I'm not wearing it at home or on the weekends, and I'm going out this weekend with my daughter and buying her some bras that fit better (don't leave red marks), and they won't be underwires, either. And I'll be encouraging her to wear her bra as seldom as possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Katherine A.
