...exists between Christ's final moments on the Cross and Mother Teresa's final 50 years, during which she didn't feel the presence of God. Her life of faith, dedication and commitment despite incredible spiritual trials should inspire us all, regardless of our religious inclinations. Barbara Bailey, Rockledge, Florida...
That could change this fall. Democratic Florida Senator Bill Nelson introduced a bill that would require toys to be third-party tested to make sure they meet safety standards-- or be banned from import to the U.S. (Hearings are scheduled for Sept. 12.)

Their faces are featured on the biggest advertising billboards in the Serbian capital pitching everything from jewelry to shoes...
