...urinating through a tube attached to his bladder. Propping himself up on his elbows, Abdi digs out a police report that describes how on June 6 last year, six men stormed a Somali grocery store where Abdi and his elder brother Mohammed worked. One shot Mohammed in the forehead, killing him. When Abdi ran, another shot him in the spinal chord, paralyzing him from the chest down. Abdi says the killers wanted him to know why. They told him he was stealing South African land, taking South African money. They called him "kuwara" - nigger. "But they were black," says Abdi...
...There is something slightly anachronistic about all this. Romney is the most perfect iteration I've seen of the television-era candidate. At one point, I squinted a bit and saw him in the middle distance: blue suit, white shirt, red tie, high forehead, slick black hair, tan, tall and ramrod straight - he could have been an exhibit in some future Museum of Natural History: Politicianus americanus. Matt Lauer and a Today show crew were following him around, and at the high school speech Romney did a slightly cheesy thing, inviting Lauer on stage, amping his candidacy with a.m. glitz...
Tracing the pathway of the affected nerve endings deeper into the brain led researchers to the trigeminal nerve, a complex network of nerve fibers that ferries sensory signals from the face, jaws and top of the forehead to the brain.

The more researchers learn about the trigeminal nerve, the more they believe that it is involved in all types of primary headaches, including tension and cluster headaches. The differences in the headache types seem to stem from what activates the trigeminal nerve...

Alem?n, too, has a hard time remembering...
...remember running down the field at soccer practice on a Tuesday afternoon on a 2-1 fast break alongside my friend Dario. I remember him lifting the ball perfectly to my eye level a foot in front of my face, letting my momentum do the work as my forehead struck the ball into the back of the net for a goal that bore no consequence other than being something the two of us could laugh triumphantly about on the walk home.I know that I was inducted into the National Honor Society sometime near the end of high school. I remember...
