Which cities were the most helpful, and which gave the struggling shoppers the cold shoulder?
Are bedbugs the new pubic lice? CNN recently investigated how the unstoppable critters have invaded the love lives of itchy, bewildered New Yorkers. Although the city's been dealing with bedbugs for decades, the past year's infestations are making people paranoid about who they date.
