...week or so of intensive physical therapy as soon as they are medically stable - but Sandy would have nothing to do with it. "Please don't let them put me in the warehouse - I'm fine, doc - just need to get back to my own bed, feed the cat, catch up on the papers." I didn't press the rehab thing, figuring that the case managers, whose full-time job is patient-disposition, would deal with it. Maybe having a clear goal helped, because he did get better amazingly fast - from nearly dead to bright and vigorous, walking 150 feet...

That, they add glumly, suggests Iran could continue a game of hard-nosed cat-and-mouse for as long as U.S. troops are in Iraq...
Another part of Jensen’s appeal (aside from personal charisma and his pet cat anecdotes) is that he that links up this modern disillusionment with a doctrine of apocalypse and redemption. In Jensen’s eco-feminist world, “nature” stands in for the divine entity; Gaia is the force for good, the all-embracing mother in a terrible violent world. “Civilization” is the rapist, the pillager, the lustful Satan. Jensen’s world gives everything meaning in the way that he taps into a feeling that...
