...Baghdad, and by extension the rest of Iraq, does not register with the Bush Administration. The laws of a democracy, or even a dictatorship, simply do not exist. The watercolors used by the Bush Administration to paint an encouraging picture of Iraq are being washed away by the blood of people ruled by fear, not hope. Joe Macdonald Dartmouth, Canada Ghosh's depiction of Baghdad was a wonderful piece of work. Is it the same Iraq that our Administration paints such a rosy picture of? In the process of trying to shove liberty and democracy down the Iraqis' throats...
...grisly as any ever recorded: the nude body of an aspiring movie actress named Betty Short was discovered in an empty lot in Los Angles. It was severed in two and forensic evidence indicated that she had been tortured and sodomized before death, with her organs removed and the blood drained from her body after death. Crime scene photos have not, to this day, been publicly released. Equally curious, the police have never uncovered much evidence about her pre-death friends, movements or possible lovers. The case was a journalistic sensation and it has retained its powerful hold...
...further from the truth. My grandfather was a farmer, and before him his father and forefathers, and I take serious objection to your claim that Israeli setters built their illegal settlements on wasteland.

Ambrose, a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77 that was hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001. Along with nine other Harvard University alumni, Ambrose, a 2000 graduate of the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), lost his life in the terrorist attacks. Five years later, Ambrose’s parents and loved ones of the other Harvard victims commemorated those killed. But they said just...
...expectancy gap has been increasing since 1984. According to the study, disparities in life expectancy are caused not by commonly-blamed factors such as poverty, infant mortality, violence, HIV/AIDS, and lack of health insurance, but rather by chronic noncommunicable diseases. Five factors are most deadly: tobacco, alcohol, obesity, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol. Disparities in death-rates primarily affect young and middle-age adults. The researchers recommended that public-health efforts target these age groups. In life expectancy, as in real estate, what matters is location, location, location. In a telephone interview with The Crimson, Ezzati said that...
