THE MISSING LINK

![]()
Remember when "Wall Street" baddie Gordon Gekko said "greed is good"? Greedy Gordon had it all wrong. Gossip is good. That's the word from the school of nursing at London's City University. Researchers there say they've found that a healthy exchange of scuttlebutt is good for nurses and for other people in stressful jobs. How can a little dish be helpful? It helps people vent and nurtures creativity. Researchers also found that
women are more likely to admit that they've been chattin' it up, whereas men tend to refer to their gabby habits as "de-briefing" or "networking."
