...Pampers? Here, P&G is obeying what Juan Faura, a Hispanic-marketing executive and author of The Whole Enchilada: Hispanic Marketing 101, calls a basic "law of the Hispanic universe": "Family is always first," writes Faura. "Family means your mom and dad and brothers and sisters and second cousins and cousins of your aunt's husband's sister and aunts of your mom's second cousin Dionisia from Veracruz." (Or, in real-world terms, Parilla, a single mom, won't skimp on her baby, no matter how stretched her pocketbook.) Plus, diapers are a growth category: 1 in 5 babies...
Worthingtons had lived in Truro for generations. In fact, one of the first rescue workers at the scene was Christa's cousin. Christa had moved there from New York City to care for her sick mother. She had had an affair with a local fisherman, which produced Ava. After her mother died, Christa decided to stay. In her shingled house on a hill, surrounded by a tangle of spindly trees, she had started a new life, although not necessarily a frictionless one. What with family strains and frustrated romances, there were plenty of obvious suspects. Semen was found on Worthington...
That proves that at least one mammal from the age of dinosaurs was carnivorous--and since R. giganticus is a close cousin of R. robustus, it's reasonable to assume that the larger species ate meat as well.

...roughly the same memory and hard-drive size as a low-end G4 Power Mac and comes with the latest version of Mac OS X. Plug in the peripherals, and you will rarely notice the difference. The $99 iPod Shuffle, however, could never be mistaken for its larger cousin. There's no screen on which to view the song currently playing, and it holds only 126 tracks. (A $150 model doubles that capacity.) It's called the Shuffle because that's the best thing you can do with it: stick it into the USB port of your computer...
Other readers focus on Luke's ornate narrative context for the Annunciation. Before Mary gets the news, the angel alerts the family of her cousin Elizabeth that she, a barren woman, will bear "a child that will be great in the sight of the Lord"; that is, John the Baptist. After Mary's Annunciation, she visits Elizabeth, and the fetus in Elizabeth's belly miraculously leaps up in recognition of God's promised Messiah. Surrounding this and other subplots are a series of stunning poems, or canticles, which the church later gave Latin names like the Magnificat and the Benedictus...
