...bill's backers say cities pass zoning laws that keep churches out. They say children cannot wear the Star of David to school because of regulations meant to ban gang symbols. They say coroners perform autopsies on those whose faith holds that the corpse is sacred. In short, without the Religious Liberty Protection Act, says Marc Stern of the American Jewish Congress, "you send a message to the state [authorities] that they have carte blanche to interfere with religious practices...
...even sport a radiant mane of natural curls. What Lindsay Weir has is a prodigious brain that she's slightly uncomfortable with, an olive-drab jacket weighing on her shoulders like chain mail and--something rare enough among prime-time adults, let alone teens--a genuine crisis of faith. Having witnessed, alone, the death of her grandmother--who told Lindsay, as she slipped away, that she saw "nothing" beyond--Lindsay is questioning the justness of the world and her own place in it. Cardellini captures her simmering outrage with just the right mixture of sarcasm, melancholy and self-righteousness...
...right about it in the first place. Despite interest rates that are markedly higher today than a year ago, it's not at all clear that rates will keep climbing.

His Vietnam saga is, to say the least, riveting: try to imagine being strung up by your broken arms, beaten senseless by your captors and, then, when they offer you the chance to go home, saying...
...Faith of My Fathers is ostensibly a three-generation family memoir, the story not just of McCain but also of his father and grandfather, both of whom were four-star admirals. But McCain is the subject. Co-written by Mark Salter, the Senator's longtime aide, the book portrays a rebellious youth who reveres his family's military tradition but chafes against authority. As a child, McCain displays a petulance that leads him, when angry, to hold his breath until he blacks out. As a student, McCain recounts, "I grew more determined to assert my crude individualism."
