PUPIL size may give insight into a person’s level of intelligence, according to a new study. A team at the Georgia Institute of Technology says they found volunteers who excelled at tests of reasoning, attention and memory had larger baseline pupil measurements than their lower scoring counterparts. The scientists suspect those with larger pupils while at rest have greater activity in the locus coeruleus — the part of the brain linked to cognitive function and recall. But you don’t need to be an expert to see for yourself. At least three other studies indicate the relative difference in pupil size between smart people and their less gifted colleagues is visible to the naked eye. Docs are still baffled by the link between intelligence and the pupil — but the research…

TORMENTED Tiger Woods is so devastated by the car crash that has crippled him — possibly for life — he couldn’t even take a speaking gig on the recent U.S. Open golf classic, insiders say. TV kingpins thought a commentator stint for the June 17–June 20 tournament at San Diego’s Torrey Pines course would be an easy putt for recovering Tiger, but the 45-year-old jock slammed their offer into a bunker. An insider tattles “he’s still in a lot of pain and it’s a lot worse than he lets on. Tiger’s recovery is proving agonizing and slow-going.
