...amendment sometimes winning or losing by just a single vote. What was at stake was not mere chastity but the ordination of a people once shunned by the church. By last week, however, the amendment won its 86th presbytery--a simple majority--and sexually active gays and lesbians were forbidden to serve as clergy, elders and deacons...
...line from the location where they were caught. New York doctors have moved ten miles to New Jersey, safely beyond the reach of officials familiar with their records; North Carolina doctors have moved a few miles to Virginia. One physician who lost his license in Maryland, and was forbidden to practice in New York and Ohio, collected $172,000 in Medicare payments last year in Virginia, according to the New York Times.

...lies embalmed and displayed in his mausoleum in Tiananmen Square. Deng has asked that his eyes be donated to medicine, his ashes be cast into the sea and no monuments be built to him. Mao had resided in Zhongnanhai, the walled district of Beijing that is China's new Forbidden City; Deng chose to live not in Zhongnanhai but in a block-long house called Miliangku (literally "rice-grain storehouse"), not far away. It was there that China's unquestioned leader, its emperor without portfolio, enjoyed his family, played his beloved games of bridge and drifted into senescence, dealing with...
