...results echo a Harvard study published last year involving thousands of women, which also suggested that a low-carb high-fat diet might be more heart-healthy than previously thought, although it relied on women's memories of what they had eaten over two decades...
Worse, there are clear signs that Iraq's malice has an echo in other parts of the Middle East, exacerbating existing tensions between Sunnis and Shi'ites and reanimating long-dormant ones. In Lebanon, some Hizballah supporters seeking to topple the government in Beirut chant the name of radical Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose militia is blamed for thousands of Sunni deaths.

...echo of that trauma is sounding a generation later, in a very different Germany. In coming weeks, the last two major RAF terrorists still in prison could go free.

Senators Walter George and Richard Russell were friends of his family's, and they moved in and out of his boyhood, heroes on that far-off Washington stage that beckoned him. The legendary Congressman Carl Vinson was Nunn's great-uncle. Along with a taste for basketball and politics, Nunn absorbed dignity, calm and concern, and always, from the frequent family tribunes, a "keen sense of America...
