...Long Migration, the least clinically themed story in the book, is Chen's delicate, mosaiced account of trying to piece together the story of his grandfather's life - a tale of several marriages, migration and diaspora. In Contact Tracing, another piece that ratchets up the tension, Fitzgerald is dying of SARS, having contracted it while evacuating a patient from Shenzhen. In the respiratory isolation room next to his is Chen, also infected because he treated Fitzgerald in the initial stages. The ending rewrites any kind of expectation that we may have held in our minds, given that these...
...Christian faith [Aug. 18]. He told of his time as a prisoner of war, and of a North Vietnamese guard who was his Good Samaritan. It was like a window into the depths of his faith.

Perhaps more off-putting than TIME's fawning account of megapastor Warren is the notion that both presidential candidates should report to this so-called national inquisitor for an Aug. 16 grilling and civics lesson. In testing the candidates' grasp of the Constitution, Warren--and everyone who plays along with him--should recall its separation of church and state. Michael Colello, SEATTLE...
