Experts on bicultural adoptions have learned such lessons from years of experience. Susan Soon-keum Cox, 50, who works for Holt International, the oldest overseas-adoption agency in the U.S. and the organization that arranged her own adoption from South Korea in 1956, learned them firsthand. She was adopted by Oregon dairy farmers Marvin and Jane Gourley in the earliest wave of babies brought into American homes and hearts after the Korean War. The Gourleys dealt with their daughter's Asian identity in a way that reflected the thinking of the time: they loved her unconditionally and encouraged...
SETTLED. NIXON SISTERS' LAWSUIT, over how to spend an almost $20 million bequest to the presidential library of their father Richard M. Nixon. Tricia Nixon Cox and Julie Nixon Eisenhower did not speak for years because of the dispute over the money, but a court-ordered mediation resulted in an agreement, whose details were not revealed...

(Large chunks of several U.S. cities have been bombed to smithereens by page 110 of Book 3.) Harvey Cox, a professor of divinity at Harvard, says part of the appeal of Left Behind lies in the "lip-licking anticipation of all the blood." But many nonbelievers come to Christ in the course of the books, and this holy "soul harvest" lends the series a buoyant optimism that many critics...
