Having the opportunity to say goodbye, even during a stress-filled period of caregiving, not only may make the mourning process a bit easier to bear but also just might point the way to the survivor's new identity in the world of widowhood. Sherron Driver, 62, was her husband James' caregiver for the last eight years of his life as he valiantly struggled with heart disease and respiratory ailments. "We talked a lot about life and death. He told me he wanted me to continue on with my life, to be a model for our children," recalls Driver...
...following the latest attacks, the pressure on Maliki from his own base to resist U.S. demands will likely be greater than whatever leverage President Bush can bring to bear: The Iraqi leader has long made clear that he can only move against the Shi'ite militias after the Sunni insurgent threat has been removed, and the bloodshed in Sadr City Thursday will only reinforce that point.

Several former leaders of Lebanon's own police and security services are in prison in this country under suspicion for involvement in the Hariri assassination. Hizballah, which itself has this kind of operational capability, has accused Israel of staging these assassinations to sow disunity...

On ABC's hit comedy-soap Ugly Betty, she's a fashion-magazine assistant who is distinctly unfashionable--chunky sweaters, frizzy hair, bear-trap braces--but succeeds through good old Yankee values like perseverance, optimism and hard work. Smart and sweet-hearted, she embodies the Puritan-Shaker-Quaker principle of valuing inner good over outer appearance. She's as Norman Rockwell as a chestnut-stuffed turkey. The actress who plays her is even named America Ferrera...
