Flash Pass teaches children a valuable lesson in real-world economics: that the rich are more important than you, especially when it comes to waiting. An NBA player once said to me, with a bemused chuckle of disbelief, that when playing in Canada--get this--"we have to wait in the same customs line as everybody else...
...cold, but also against the teeming horde in search of a hot cup of coffee in one of Park City's crowded cafés. Toronto, with its easy public transportation, crisp weather and metropolis full of "semi-normal" people, retains its identity. "The tone is set by Canada," says Poland...
...Bonn-Moscow accord in all likelihood will lead to a European security conference, which the Soviets wish to convene-possibly in Helsinki-as a means of gaining full international endorsement of the status quo in Europe.

Between 2003 and 2006, seven women - six in the U.S. and one in Canada - died after using mifepristone together with misoprostol, or misoprostol alone. The two drugs are routinely prescribed in combination; the first terminates the pregnancy, while the second causes uterine contractions and expels it. Most of the women died from infection with a dangerous, rare bacterium called Clostridium sordellii, one of the Clostridium species that may normally live in the vagina of healthy, non-pregnant women...
