MISSIONARY STYLE Built to house the mortal remains of Goa's most famous visitor, St. Francis Xavier, the Basilica of Bom Jesus is as impressive a fragment of cod baroque as you'll find in Asia. A 16th century missionary, St. Francis worked a diocese that stretched from Africa to China, but he died in Macau while waiting for his Chinese visa to come through...
...century before a JTF investigator happened upon the case of the missing photographers-who had not been counted among the military MIA-and a further two years before a JTF team started excavating Site 2062, sifting through earth and, in JTF parlance, "broken aircraft s___" for the tiniest bone fragment or tooth. Single bicuspids have been enough to identify some MIA, notes Pyle, as Vietnam was the first war in which the U.S. government kept dental records of every soldier. But Site 2062, a remote hillside near the Ho Chi Minh Trail, divulged few secrets beyond that mangled Leica...
...soldiers died en route to the hospital, the bodies of his comrade and the taxi driver were quickly removed. But the remains of the bomber were left, untouched in the myriad of places where they fell - a skull fragment with a dangling eye landed on the sentry post roof, more scattered up to 100 feet away.

Where is the transsexual woman who loves her female sexuality...
These days they have more reason than ever to push. As families increasingly fragment and as societal pressures grow, experts say they are seeing more cases of personality disorder than ever. As much as 9% of the population is thought to suffer from some kind of personality disorder, and as many as 20% of all mental-health hospitalizations may be the result of such conditions. Epidemiologists have not done a very good job of comparing these figures with those of earlier years, but many doctors report--anecdotally--that their PD caseload is indeed on the rise. "The more severe ones...
