...backbone of his future political objectives. In 1989, as the communists' power crumbled, Tudjman saw a chance for Croatia. In what is perhaps his greatest achievement, he unified all Croats--the children of the Nazi supporters and the communists, the rich migrs and those in rural areas--to form a unanimous movement striving for independence...
...those hippie communes that disappeared along with bellbottoms and VW Bugs? It is. Like so many icons of the '60s, they're back now and being marketed successfully to the mainstream. A few still feature free love and organic farming, but what's more common is a form of collective housing built by and for property-owning, car-driving, middle-class former suburbanites...
...after Gore volunteers handed out flyers in New Hampshire pharmacies accusing Bradley of being in cahoots with drug companies to keep less expensive generics off the market, Bradley's coordinator for the state, Mark Longabaugh, gave in to his frustration and authorized a flyer that looked like a prescription form.

Born with the most severe form of sickle-cell anemia, a hereditary blood disorder that afflicts more than 70,000 Americans, most of them of African descent, he experienced repeated episodes of racking pain and high fever as brittle, sickle-shaped red blood cells clogged his vessels. At age 5, he was temporarily paralyzed by a stroke. Since then he has bravely endured blood transfusions as often as every two weeks via a catheter attached to his chest. Still the threat of devastating pain and life-threatening infections continued to shadow...
