...Qaeda and sent them to Guantanamo. Under interrogation, sources tell TIME, some of the Moroccans fingered a Saudi they knew only as Zuher. They said that he had recruited many of them to join Al Qaeda and believed that he had headed back to Morocco. An even better clue came when at least one of the detainees recalled the family name of the Moroccan wife who had perished in Tora Bora...
Certainly antidepressants, like the serotonin reuptake inhibitors (Prozac and others) have proved very helpful in treating anxiety; some doctors think they are even more effective against anxiety than they are against depression. Although no one knows exactly why these antidepressants work, one important clue is that their effects don't show up until after a few weeks of treatment. The pathways for toning down anxiety are apparently much more resistant than those for ratcheting...

"I worked for a living, butted my head up against the glass ceiling," she recalls. "I knew after a few years I wasn't going to get much further." Then the notion of writing a story about a young woman in the Ice Age popped into her head. Auel wrote like a woman possessed, working all night and wearing...
