...back by a heavy object and fell down. I woke up two days later at Birchenough Bridge hospital." Moyo's wife Tendai, 37, had found him bleeding and unconscious in the road and taken him to hospital on an oxcart. Both his legs and his back were broken, and his spinal cord was partly severed; he is now paralyzed below the waist. Local observers have little doubt that pro-government militias are to blame. "Moyo is a well-known MDC activist, a strong organizer, very popular," says a neighbor, Simon. "They knew that crippling him would also cripple...

"With disregulation of the circadian rhythm, there are lots of changes in hormonal status and metabolites in the blood," says Albert. "So you can imagine that would affect cognition...
...sprawling slum built on the City of Manila's garbage dump. Flies swarm as Bing, a 34-year-old mother of five, prepares a meal of salted rice for her children. While she feeds them, her husband sifts through the mounds of grease-stained cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and broken glass that crowd their home. He'll sell his rotten harvest for about $3.50. For their family of seven, that?s 50 cents per person, per day. The arithmetic is simple, Bing says. "With every child I have, there is less rice each. I can?t give them...
