...care-giving responsibilities extend beyond her infant and her mother. Matt, the baby's father and an internist at a Boston HMO, has two young sons from his first marriage, which has recently ended in divorce. Kate was not the cause of their parents' breakup, but the boys treat her with suspicion and sometimes open hostility. And then there is Matt himself, who had been her lover for only eight months when Kate became pregnant and saddled with responsibilities. They plan to marry in the June following their son's birth, but Kate occasionally wonders whether he will still want...
...days to ask the full 12-judge panel of the 11th Circuit to hear the case, and if it refused they'd get a further 90 days to appeal to the Supreme Court.

But it is in the continuation of politics by other means that Shogun really excels. Battles with neighboring daimyo are conducted in real time on landscapes realistic enough to reveal the shifting shadows of birds' wings. Your own bird's-eye view is ideal for commanding battalions of archers, ashigaru (foot soldiers) and samurai. Up to 7,000 soldiers can appear at the same...
