...merchandise, gives Pearl the ever vaunted second chance to live out her youthful desires. But it comes with a price. As she seizes her second chance at frivolity, she destroys the trust on which her marriage was built, and in the process fractures the family that she holds so dear. Sound familiar? It's a plot that explores some very common themes of human emotion: love, the fleetiness of youth and regret over opportunities past. It's a story that appeals to our humanity, and that's what makes it so real...

...license plates to eradicate any trace of their claim to the province. No one knows how many have died or been killed, but every refugee had a tale of terror to tell. Milosevic seemed intent on emptying not just the historically sacred (and mineral-rich) north and central zones dear to Serb hearts and pocketbooks but every square inch of the Connecticut-size province. Even without confirmation of the widespread stories of atrocity or war crimes, the brutal outflow told a clear enough tale. A systematic expulsion was under way that, NATO predicted, could empty the province...

...history. He failed to hold together the former Yugoslavia, and he failed to build in its place a Greater Serbia. In the past 10 years, he has launched four wars and lost three. He is currently on the verge of losing a piece of real estate held especially dear by Serbs. As Europe's most disruptive dictator since the fall of the Berlin Wall, he bears responsibility for the extermination of 250,000 in Bosnia and Croatia, for the European revival of concentration camps and massacres, for the displacement of millions in Bosnia and Croatia and Kosovo, for the impoverishment...

...speak out more forcefully. Famous for angering Washington with her views supporting Palestinian rights and, at one time, urging negotiation with Saddam Hussein, she is now tempted, it seems, to enter areas of advocacy that are politically taboo in the Arab world, such as democracy and human rights. Most dear to her is the new King Hussein Foundation, which seeks to promote debate and will perhaps offer a humanitarian prize. The work, in a way, would be an extension of Hussein's drive to modernize the Arab world. Noor says she doesn't feel it's a mission...

...their design, these messages must go unanswered. Their authors don't really expect consolation over e-mail. Fishing for actual sympathy over the Internet would betray a great deal of weakness; on the other side of things, nobody wants to admit to e-mail stalking other people ("Dear X: I was fingering your account at 4:30 a.m. and noticed your distressing plan file.") If these authors never expect a response, whom are they writing to? Perhaps they are writing to God. It would be comforting to think He reads ours plan files like slips of paper tucked inside...
