...realized that the Turks and the Syrians weren't getting along; that was part of what made the story so disturbing. The Turks used to be pretty good about waiting their turn to become involved in an international crisis: every five or six years they'd have a flare-up with the Greeks over Cyprus, and in between they'd manage to content themselves with some routine Kurd oppression...
Glover is among Winsor's many celebrity clients, as is Arnold Rifkin, 50, president of the William Morris Agency in Beverly Hills. The flare-up of an old back injury nearly incapacitated the Hollywood power broker two years ago, and he started doing Pilates. "I felt energy moving through my body in a way I'd never experienced before," he says. Now free of pain, he signs up for twice-weekly sessions and has Pilates equipment at home.

"People seem to use [IMs] as an outlet. They let their anger out on the court." True to Giampaolo's words, a thrown elbow in a recent Winthrop-Lowell frisbee game came dangerously close to launching the entire affair into a Jerry Springer-style brawl, as players from both...
...baby! If you are sure that you love him (although I find that hard to believe considering you've only known each other for five months) then I think you both need to sit down and talk to your parents. I suggest getting an outside mediator because tempers may flare and objects may start getting thrown. Honestly, I really think that you should end your relationship with this guy and look for another. There are plenty of other fish in the sea and the inevitable pain you will experience because of him may not end up being worth...
