...Morocco a little peasant boy aims a rifle, newly acquired by his father, at a tourist bus and grievously wounds a woman dozing by one of its windows. In Tokyo an adolescent girl, puzzled and angry over her mother's suicide (and a deaf-mute as well), bedevils her father and at the same time blatantly asserts her confused but flaming sexual needs. In San Diego a Mexican woman tends two Anglo children she deeply loves while their parents are on holiday, but when her own son needs her, she puts her charges in jeopardy. Unable to find someone...
...Spirit too does not lend itself to summary. To say that America is a very religious country is both true and unhelpful without a concordance.

"They are a lovely couple," Yohane said of Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie. "She asked me many questions. She and her husband seem happy with David. Madonna promised...
...people sell their kidneys when they are poor. We deplore child labor, fight any temptation to treat children as commodities. But if a father is thrilled that his son gets a better chance, is that his right? Parents have forever sent their children away in hopes of a better life, sent their Moses afloat in a basket down the river to be found, if God smiles, by Pharoah's daughter. Moral instinct tells us that a father's love counts for something; taking a baby away to be raised even in a splendor does violence to the bonds that define...
