...Veltroni has expanded his public duties to include exploring his private fantasies. No, not those fantasies. Veltroni is too smart and ambitious a public servant - he is often mentioned as a future Italian Prime Minister - to write anything racy. Still, his new book La Scoperta dell'Alba (Discovering the Dawn) has an intimate feel, following a 40-something's search for the cause of his father's disappearance during his childhood. "A mother can't abandon her child, but a father can. And many do. Men are scared of other people's pain," he writes. Veltroni, who has already penned...

Dawn Halfaker, a former Army captain who lost her right arm in Iraq, says negotiating the bureaucracy to get treatment for all her medical needs has been frustrating at times. She had to wait eight months for an appointment at the Washington hospital to get her teeth cleaned. Even...
...pitch blackness before dawn one morning in late may, four boats belonging to Diego Crespo Sevilla chug out of a port in southwest Spain to enact an elaborate marine ambush. About 50 fishermen drop hundreds of red markers, attached to nets, which bob for nearly 2 km along the water's surface, forming rows as neat as traffic lanes on a highway. Then they maneuver their boats to form a wide square, and they wait. As the sun rises an hour later, a drama begins to unfold. Nearly 200 huge tuna glide through the lanes until they find themselves trapped...
