**1. BEHAVIOR: POLITICAL DEFEAT AND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LOSING. DR. ROBERT R. BUTTERWORTH, Ph.D., a Los Angeles-based psychologist who has surveyed the psychology of losing, gives examples of emotional reactions that we may see in political candidates as the election returns come in and they experience defeat: "'And the winner is...' is a phrase that will be spoken often as the 2006 election results are tallied and winners announced. But what about those candidates who lose? What psychological reactions do they experience? What's it like for those people who've invested their hearts, souls and possibly their own money in trying to win an election and fail? In politics, the 'F' word is failure, winning is everything, and after the end of a grueling political contest, it's normal for the public to dismiss and even denigrate the loser.

KFC's Herbs, Spices Stay; Trans Fat Goes
The war against trans fat registered a major victory Monday as KFC, whose main course is deep fried, announced that it would remove the artery-clogging substance from its fryers. KFC said it would replace partially hydrogenated soybean oil with a type of soybean oil that does not contain trans fat at its 5,500 restaurants in the United States. The conversion, which came after two years of testing, is expected to be completed by April. Although trans fat will be eliminated from KFC's chicken and its other fried products, it will remain in its biscuits, potpies and some desserts because a good alternative has not yet been found. Officials at KFC, a subsidiary of Yum Brands of Louisville, Ky., said the change in cooking oils would have no impact on the taste of its food.
