Careers in law often make people hard and suspicious. But employment lawyer Michael Lefkow and his wife, U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow, seemed to lead unusually open and trusting lives. The couple drove to work together and held hands in public. Michael's bio is displayed on his practice's website. It includes his hobbies: opera, reading about Lincoln, singing in his church choir. At one point--before white-supremacist groups pasted the information onto their own sites--he apparently posted photos of his daughters and even the address of his home, in a tree-lined neighborhood of Chicago...
Grinning, he recalled how one of his teammates stole a sheriff’s car, drunkenly drove around town late at night with three naked sophomore girls inside and astonishingly received no punishment thereafter. But for the more academically focused members of the team—that is, “me,” Moxon explained—there was a certain downside to such a retrograde intellectual environment...
...blames Damascus for assassinating his brother in 1982, shortly after Bashir Gemayel's election as president of Lebanon.

Seventeen years after leaving office, Gemayel now believes that a Syrian withdrawal from his country is inevitable, as he explained to TIME Cairo Bureau Chief Scott MacLeod...

...Haunted by memories of civilian casualties, he had become a nervous wreck. So early last month, a few days before he was due to return to his unit's base in Germany and prepare for a redeployment to Iraq later this year, Anderson rented a car and drove to Toronto. Since arriving, Anderson has joined several like-minded U.S. soldiers fighting an uphill battle to gain refugee status in Canada. "I joined the Army to get money and defend my country, not to kill innocent people and fight for a war that is unjust," says Anderson, who earned his medal...
