Others are not so sure. Ronald K. Siegel, a psychopharmacologist at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, believes that reactions to MDMA are unpredictable , and not nearly so glowing as some therapists make out. Involuntary teeth clenching, biting of the inside of the cheek, increased sweating, blurred vision and fluctuations in blood pressure have occurred during clinical sessions, he points out. Says Siegel: "People are trying too hard to make this drug into the one that LSD was not -- a drug that is safe and effective and can be freely used and dispensed. MDMA...
...rosaries with me. There was the turquoise-colored one that my grandmother had given to me a long time ago. One day I decided to wear it as a necklace. I thought, "This is kind of offbeat and interesting." I mean, everything I do is sort of tongue in cheek. It's a strange blend -- a beautiful sort of symbolism, the idea of someone suffering, which is what Jesus Christ on a crucifix stands for, and then not taking it seriously at all.

But in Judaism, there are two conditions for repentance: one must go in genuine contrition to the person sinned against, and one must do one's best to compensate for the wrong done. But how can a Nazi, say, compensate a Jew for exterminating his entire family? In that sense, some crimes simply cannot be forgiven...
...once filled with happy families and harmonious relationships. But ever since Archie Bunker squared off against Meathead in Norman Lear's All in the Family, tongue-in-cheek antagonism has become the engine that drives most TV sitcoms--and, in the past few seasons, a spate of lighthearted adventure shows as well. The contours of these rocky relationships have become so familiar that the cliche alarm goes off every time a new one appears. Yet with the right mix of skilled performers, the old formula can yield a pleasing chemistry. Witness three new series debuting during the networks' third season...
