...starting a substantive conversation...aye, there's the rub. A lot of people fear that some monster called "Political Correctness" is going to devour them if they slip up--if they, for instance, forget to use the adjective "[fill-in-the-blank]-ly-challenged."

A multinational team of doctors working in Lyon spent three and a half hours transplanting the hand and part of an arm from a brain-dead donor to a 48-year-old Austrialian businessman who lost his lower arm in a logging accident almost a decade ago.
