...years ago, Linda wouldn't have believed that her daughter was clinically depressed either. But shortly after her parents separated, Megan stopped singing. When other kids came over to play, she would lie down in the yard and just watch. At Christmas she wouldn't decorate the tree. Linda thought her daughter was simply melancholy over her parents' split and took her to see a counselor. That seemed to help for a while. Then for about eight months, when Megan was 10, she cried constantly and wouldn't go to school. She lost her appetite and got so weak that...
Barak was no great hit with the public either. In small settings, he could be charming and light. But in crowds he bored audiences with stiff pontifications.

I couldn't tell if the resulting "crack" was that of the scales breaking or that of the tip of the knife embedding itself through "Freddie" into the cutting board. I screamed. My sister cried. My mother cursed. We felt...
...dead of winter when the area is almost uninhabitable," says Rahman. "They reinforced their positions, built bunkers and used snowmobiles to resupply themselves. And in the fighting so far, they've emerged as experienced, battle-hardened soldiers." New Delhi suspects that the 600-strong infiltration force includes either Pakistani special forces or Afghan mujahedeen -- and also to charge that, Pakistan's denials notwithstanding, an operation on this scale would have been logistically impossible without the complicity of the Pakistani army...
