...travelers was an attack by a Latina woman fluent in English and insults. Earlier in the morning, as she talked vehemently in French to a rather sallow-looking artiste, her extreme poise had pleasantly invaded my stupor. Placing her immaculately dressed self to my left, she leaned over the arm of my chair, swept her eyes vertically down my mud splattered clothing and inspected my face solemnly. Finally, I attested to the fact that I was indeed a citizen of the United States...
...Ralf Schumann. A mild-tempered and obviously sharp-eyed man of 38, he was born in the former East Germany, where he took up pistol shooting at age 15. The pistol has since become an extension of his right arm, and rapid-fire shooting at 25 m his life. He fires 20,000 shots a year--all in training for a competition that lasts no longer than...

RSD starts with a minor injury to an arm or leg--say, a twisted ankle or a bruise--but quickly blossoms into a strange syndrome in which the sympathetic nerves (the ones responsible for temperature control, sweating and blood flow) go so out of whack that blowing air across the skin is enough to trigger burning pain. The injured extremity and surrounding tissue can become discolored and, eventually, immobile. Now researchers report two experimental treatments. In one, doctors restore motor activity...
Clinton pleaded with Arafat during their hour- and-a-half meeting but chose to keep the arm- bending private. At best, the White House hoped that when Arafat returned home to chair the conference of the Palestinian Central Council over the weekend, he would head off any move among its hard-liners to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state on Wednesday, the original deadline. Arafat did that. But it still doesn't represent enough progress for Clinton to convene a second Camp David summit...
