...looked as if we had a game here. But wait, a whistle? The ref wanted to pull the tweeter out now and kill Argentina's momentum? It was a terrible call, and it meant three shots for 'Melo. He sank them all, giving the U.S. that tiny bit of comfort it carried into the third quarter. Game over...

...waters rise to the height of a person, the Robertses act as a citizens' National Guard, a more caring and effective FEMA. They take elderly friends to their attic, share food with them, give them comfort. Outside, a neighbor, Larry Simms, stands shoulder-deep in the water, looking for people to save. And all the while, Kim keeps recording, giving witness to nature's fury and the government's indifference...

But I was moved to find that Tiffany had a dark, philosophical streak. His Lunette (circa 1900) is a leaded glass fixture with an organic, unfinished quality. It's gritty, not pretty...

...wanted to thank you for the article on home birth, since giving birth to my beautiful baby boys at home was the best gift I could have ever given them. They were born in comfort, with the familiar sounds, love and patience that they had known the whole time I was pregnant. They were helped into the world with the warmth of our midwives' hands.
