...books from the Vietnam War should be considered hopeless. Though the Defense Department has previously acknowledged that some cases can never be resolved, this is the first time a specific number has emerged. The finding "will no doubt fan the flames of conspiracy theories embraced by a fervent minority that seeks to keep the MIA issue alive," says TIME Defense correspondent Mark Thompson. "We should bear in mind, however, that there are many more people unaccounted for from the Korean War and World War II. The great majority of Americans, both in and out of uniform, want closure...
...does, according to McLarty and most other senior White House staff members. The President has long been a fervent golfer, but not until June, when renovation of Dwight Eisenhower's old putting green on the South Lawn was completed, could he slip outside and practice his game without leaving the White House.

Ezra Pound once pointed out that history without economics is bunk. To which one might add that poetry without economics--without some sense...
Nachtigall is a fervent believer in the healing power of estrogen. "Even for women who are already in deep sexual difficulty, the therapy usually reverses the damage in only a few weeks," she writes. Estrogen creams, applied topically, are very effective at rejuvenating vaginal tissues and are probably safer than pills or patches because they put less hormone into circulation. For those whose sex drive remains stuck in low gear despite hrt, the male hormone testosterone may help, though unless dosages are watched carefully, it can cause deepening voice, growth of facial hair and other unwanted effects...
