...bare beach to cross, and nowhere to hide. There were people falling around us. I was carrying a good stock of morphine and bulky bandages powdered with sulfonamides. I had instructions not to stop for anybody until we made it to the casino, which the Germans had turned into a bunker. But I made an exception for Lieut. Commander Philippe Kieffer because I thought it was a good idea to hang on to our leader. He took some shrapnel, so I bandaged him quickly and gave him some morphine...
Many of the incentive programs operate on a small scale, and their track records are difficult to evaluate. The main purpose is to help people who have become so financially strapped or dysfunctional that most of their energy is focused on bare-bones survival. "Unless a particular health problem is at the top of their list, the poor will not give it attention," says Dr. William / Pawluk, of the Prudential Health Care Plan, which spends $6,000 each month to ensure that its pregnant Medicaid patients in Baltimore keep their appointments. "If you give them $10, they can afford...
...which has long condemned corporal punishment. describes whipping as a form of torture.

Across the board -- and the ocean -- skirts were mostly very short. One wonders where designers spent the brutal winter just past as they designed their collections for the coming fall.

Nonetheless, if one house shows short, others apparently feel obliged to be just as daring. Never mind that mass-market stores like the Gap are selling thousands of midcalf dresses every week. A micromini with fancy tights...
...most direct evidence of the time H. erectus arrived in Asia is obviously the ages of the fossils found there. But accurate dates are elusive, especially in Java. In contrast to East Africa's Rift Valley, where the underground record of geological history has been lifted up and laid bare by faulting and erosion, most Javan deposits are buried under rice paddies. Since the subterranean layers of rock are not so easy to study, scientists have traditionally dated Javan hominids by determining the age of fossilized extinct mammals that crop up nearby. The two fossils cited in the new Science...
