...thousands had agreed in principle to make the move once a total of 20,000 had signed on. They settled on New Hampshire as their destination.

"Come on up," Craig Benson, the Governor at the time, told them. "We'd love to have...
...taking a targeted cancer-killer will result in our deaths? Rationally speaking, it’s not: A death from a heart attack is not much worse than a death from colon cancer.

He gives his last son to an orphanage at the age of two weeks... to a certain extent he was ready to move on with his life. Then suddenly I show up and someone from the village says "Hey, this...
...many Iraqis, the death sentence passed on their former dictator Sunday was not so much a cleansing autumnal rain as just another thunderclap - albeit a particularly loud one - in the middle of a terrible and unending storm. Once the clatter of celebratory gunfire that greeted the verdict had died down, Iraqis' thoughts returned to their own future, and the depressing realization that it is no less bleak than it was yesterday. "Whether Saddam lives or dies is not important to me," shrugs Imad Mohammed, a computer technician. "I'm not even sure whether my family and I will live...
