...arena concert from the 1970s or 1980s. Perhaps it was the ethereal synthesizers or the towering stacks of speakers that flanked the stage, but it was largely the lighting design that lent the concert a surreal, throwback air. New-age images and silhouetted trees played against floor-to-ceiling cloth banners while colored lights cut through the machine-smoke haze of the auditorium, adding a visual overload to the musical excess...
...National Organization for Women. "And that is not true for the vast majority of women." Gandy, 48, had her first child at 39. "It was a choice on my part, but in most ways it really wasn't.

War as a whole might...
...reluctance of the church to acknowledge the crimes of its representatives has forced O'Gorman and others to resort to the law. There have been many cases across Europe against men of the cloth who have abused their positions within communities to gratify their pedophile inclinations. The Vatican has only recently begun to admit that it's been slow to recognize the problem. In November last year Pope John Paul II used the Internet to issue a document that contained apologies to victims of sexual abuse by members of the clergy. And last week the Pope issued a 21-page...
