...just because the pursuit of the scoop has pushed the news cycle forward, the enormity of the tragedy is nowhere near processed or mourned. The deceit of news is its relentless disregard for what is past. But don’t let the headlines that cry for war rather than scream of horror delude you that life will ever be the same. The process of mourning has just begun, even if the news has moved...
Sister Joan and her community may disregard their vows by defying church authority and church teaching, but rebellious groups like theirs are slowly dying.

The legacy of the Prince...
...That disregard for the Irish result seemed high-handed, since to be binding, the treaty must be ratified by every E.U. country. Only after that can the union admit new members, which was the treaty's main selling point. But disregarding inconvenient facts has become a habit in Europe, where leaders paint a rosy picture of "irreversible" integration and progress that seems untethered to the messy, awkward reality of existing institutions. Privately, many senior E.U. leaders worry about its "democratic deficit" and institutional sclerosis. Even in public, European Commission President Romano Prodi said, "I wasn't enthusiastic the morning after...
