...love married sex. I'm almost 50, and I've never felt sexier. But damn, it took a long time to get here." Lolly Winston shares her personal experience with in vitro fertilization: "I'm caught up in the urgency of time passing, eggs aging, chances diminishing." Lynn Freed reflects on having survived breast cancer: "A 50-year-old woman is no longer an old woman, even in our youth-mad culture. There is still life in her." And there is plenty of life in this celebration of women aging with vitality...
...door and telling them it?s going to be okay. In a house somewhere in the city?s west, three devout aid workers from a faith-based outfit known as the Christian Peacemakers Teams - Canadians Harmeet Sooden, 32, and Jim Loney, 41, and Briton Norman Kember, 74 - were freed by British special forces and Canadian law enforcement. The raid, born of intelligence extracted from a freshly captured prisoner only three hours earlier, oddly found the kidnappers absent; alas it couldn?t save Virginian Tom Fox, 54, whose tortured body had been found on a rubbish heap earlier this month...
...Among the 430-odd foreigners kidnapped in Iraq so far in this conflict, only a few have been similarly rescued. By and large, the hostages are freed, for whatever reason, at the whim of their captors, or, else murdered once their presence becomes too problematic or unprofitable.

...larger philosophical argument is basically this: Do men have as much of a right to control their reproductive lives and financial futures as women do? "Roe v. Wade really changed the world for women," Feit says. "It allowed them to separate intimacy from procreation, freed them from the fear of contraceptive failure. That kind of empowerment and security that women feel in intimate relations - well, men can't, frankly." The only sure protection is total abstinence. Feit contends that men who don't want to have a child and made reasonable efforts to avoid it should at least be able...
Movie history can be divided, without much forcing of the issue, into two eras: before Star Wars and after. The landscape before the first Star Wars film, in 1977, was a very different terrain. The best Hollywood directors, freed from censorship and the nagging sense that they were cranking out movies while their European brethren were hand-crafting films, had begun to forge a distinctive adult American cinema. Few thought in terms of box office megamillions. The idea was to earn enough to entice someone into financing your next picture. (Jean-Luc Godard had done this successfully in France...
