...speaks, Sestak is serving as a jungle gym for his daughter Alexandra, 5, who is climbing all over him. And now Sestak starts telling a story about when Alex was in the hospital because she "had a little tree growing." Alex looks up at her father and interrupts: "Dad, it was a tumor." It was, in fact, a malignant brain tumor. After surgery and months of chemotherapy, the cancer is in remission. In the rush to define the 2006 campaign as a national political event that will send a crucial message-thumbs up or down on George W. Bush...
...revelation that the Lidice massacre was anything but a game. When the Lidice Memorial director, Milous Cervencl, first saw it, he "almost fell off the chair."

My grandfather was a farmer, and before him his father and forefathers, and I take serious objection to your claim that Israeli setters built their illegal settlements on wasteland. They have built them on well-nurtured soil on which my ancestors shed sweat and blood. And the fact that these settlers have labored relentlessly to maintain this stolen property does...
...what he said," says Padovese. "But I read into this request a kind of triumphalism - to see the Church and Christians and the Pope say out loud that they were wrong." Padovese spoke by phone from the parish in the Black Sea coastal city of Trebizond, where in February Father Andrea Santoro was killed by a young Muslim man in an apparently religiously motivated attack. Two other Catholic clergy members have been the victims of attacks in Turkey over the past several months. The Vatican said the Pope did not intend the remarks - which he made during a speech...
