...make sure [we] came through fine," says De Noinville. "Not everyone was so lucky." As death toll estimates in France soared from 2,000 on Aug. 14 to as high as 13,400 last week - geometrically higher than anywhere else in sunbaked Europe - the country has been forced to admit that many of its 4.6 million people aged 75 and over do not receive anything like the care of the Sainte-Agnès residents. Often, in fact, they are ignored or forgotten, left to fend for themselves or die alone. It's a national reckoning that is not coming...
...long, hollow needle. But as soon as I looked at myself in the mirror post-piercing I knew it couldn’t have been for the reactions. The last thing I ever want to deal with is the slings and arrows of others—although I admit I do like seeing little wrinkled old women get up and pick another seat on the train when I sit down near them...
...version of Silvio Berlusconi, an entrepreneur whose appeal lies in his business success and can-do attitude. But anti-Western sentiment is growing in Turkey in the aftermath of the Iraq war, partly as a result of the U.S. government's harsh criticism of the country for failing to admit U.S troops.

...legal steps are uncertain. Germany's supreme court is expected to settle once and for all the ownership question, although not for another couple of years at the earliest. The federal judge in the New Jersey case is expected to rule much sooner, probably in early fall, whether to admit Principe's suit. And it's possible that the government will try to restart the settlement talks that broke down last year. In the meantime, on the spot in Leipziger Platz where Berliners once flocked to buy their hats, silverware and sausage, the weeds continue to grow...
...laden, crowded number 4 train. And instead of arriving at Harvard well-tanned with sun-kissed hair, the office lighting has colored my complexion in the opposite direction—uber-pale. But the office has taught me how to be more disciplined and mature. And I have to admit it feels good to talk to adults who respect my opinion and consider my suggestions valid—it’s a far cry from explaining to 5-year-olds that yes, I watched movies when I was younger too, and no, they were not in black and white...
