Family life for Durr and his children returned to a relative normal when mom Heather ended her deployment in June. But coming home was still bittersweet. "It was tough for my wife coming home," says Durr. "When she left she had a 14-year-old daughter. When she returned she had a 16-year-old who wants to spend more time with her friends then her family." As the Durr clan works together to find their old rhythm, Eric Durr can breathe a sigh of relief that he is no longer a single dad juggling roles or competing with...
...year-old Riyadh woman who endured a harrowing evening at the hands of some mutaween after arriving in her car at an amusement park to pick up her sons one night four years ago. Accusing her of indecency, two commission members allegedly ejected her driver, took Umm Faisal, her daughter and an Indonesian maid on a wild ride and eventually crashed her car.

(Buck's mother and daughter allegedly shared her disability.) The Catholic Church condemned sterilization laws in 1930, but the political process backed science, as it was then understood. The mass murder of "unfit" individuals and ethnic groups by the Nazis gave eugenics a black mark that can never be washed off. But the issue marches...
...sometimes the city feels different. On the subway, a mother plays peek-a-boo with her young daughter. I smile at her older son, and he smiles back. It is the first time I have met the eyes of another person on the subway for a long time. The mother looks at me protectively, and I grin back. Her expression softens, and before she goes back to playing with her little one, her lips tense into a guarded hint of a smile...
