...killings, Pandher's lawyer denies the charges against his client. But it's what the police did not do that has sparked outrage. Thirty-eight women and children had been reported missing from the slum over the past two years, with little response from the authorities. "The most important aspect of these murders is not why the victims were killed or by whom, but the failure of the police to protect the powerless," says Swati Mehta, a consultant for the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, an NGO in New Delhi.

...more than he deserved. But the unseemly scenes from the gallows, captured by a clandestine camera phone and broadcast to an aghast world, were also a reminder of what has come since he was removed from power: vicious sectarian hatreds that intrude, as his brutality once did, upon every aspect of Iraqi life, including the final seconds of Saddam's.

"We loved the service aspect of giving to the community and attacking the issue of hunger," says Brad. "Plus we both love to cook." When they found out about One World, they flew to Salt Lake City to learn how it was run. Cerreta, in turn, spent a month helping the Birkys prepare for opening...

If you’re a senior like me, you’re probably panicking every five minutes or so about some aspect of your life. Breathe. It’s going to be okay.
