...Disturbing Revelations Hurricane Katrina has shown the world America's Achilles' heel: its inability to deliver a quick and coordinated response to a natural disaster [Sept. 12]. Could the U.S. cope effectively with a terrorist attack involving biological or nuclear weapons? More than ever, the U.S. needs big thinking on a big scale. Philippe P. Weber B?ny-Bocage, France...
...point here is not that gay kids don't have to cope with bigotry and bleakness. A Point scholar who asked not to be identified told me he swallowed 17 Tylenols one summer night just before ninth grade--and when that didn't kill him, 30 more the following night.

The gloomiest scenario for Australia, Abbott says, is an outbreak "that would bring life...
...good works haven't gone unnoticed. The Fijian government has twice named the company Exporter of the Year. Business is booming, too: co-director Andr?e Austin says the company opened a new factory last year to cope with increased demand, and will be launching a facial line in the very near future. That ought to give the term "fair trade" an even better complexion than before...
