...VICTIMS' FAMILIES: For many of those who lost family or friends in the bombing, this ruling is a sharp reminder that their doubts and questions are still not laid to rest. "I was one of the only relatives who sat through the trial," says Jim Swire, an English doctor whose daughter, Flora, died in the crash. "I went into that court expecting to be convinced those two men were guilty; I emerged thinking it was a cock and bull story." Like some other family members, he is calling for an independent inquiry - not just into the Megrahi conviction, but into...
...responds, after two lugubrious hours in their company, really awful. Rarely have so many gifted women labored so tastefully to bring forth such a wee, lockjawed mouse. The movie begins at the deathbed of Redgrave's Ann Lord, whose thoughts, in her final moments, have turned to a young doctor named Harris (Patrick Wilson), whom she met when she was maid of honor at her best friend's wedding in Newport, R.I. a half century earlier. The bride (Gummer) loved Harris too, but it is Ann (played as a young woman by Danes), an aspiring jazz singer, who gets close...
More than three decades have passed since Kouchner first railed to the world about the human costs of conflict in Africa. In 1971, while working as a young relief doctor in war-torn Biafra, he co-founded Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders, which would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

In an anteroom on the top floor of Khartoum's conference center, Bashir joked that Kouchner had several times sneaked into Sudan illegally during the country's long civil war. To Kouchner, those years of frontline experience as a doctor were an invaluable preparation for his new job, and they have, he believes, given him an important edge in political debates with diplomatic colleagues. "The only little advantage I have is that I spent 40 years of my life [working] with my two hands somewhere," he says. "That...
Three months ago, I found out that my maternal aunt in her late thirties was diagnosed with stage two cancer of the lungs. This came as a huge shock because she never smokes, no one around her smokes, and our family does not have a history of cancer. The doctor says the environment might have caused it. Whatever the reason, she is now preparing for chemotherapy after taking an MRI to check if the cancerous cells have spread to her brain because she has been having blinding headaches, and a test of seven lymph nodes surrounding her lungs for presence...
