That was the mistake Jane Fowler, 74, a co-founder of HIV Wisdom for Older Women, made after divorce ended her 24-year marriage. A self-dubbed "1950s good girl," Fowler had only ever had one partner - her husband. Newly single in her early 50s, she started dating a man she'd known her entire life, and pregnancy was no longer a concern. "If you know for a fact that you can't become pregnant and you don't know anything about sexually transmitted diseases," she says, "why would you use a condom?" Five years later, a routine blood test...
...night, the mother, Smadar Haran, hid with her baby daughter, holding a hand over the toddler's mouth to stifle her screams. Kuntar never found the pair, but when Haran finally removed her hand from her daughter's face, she realized, with horror, that she had unwittingly suffocated the girl. While the public argued against Kuntar's return to Lebanon, the widow Haran issued a statement supporting the prisoner exchange: "This terrible murderer is not, and never was, my private prisoner," she wrote.

In 2005, the case reached the Kansas high court, which ruled that the sentence was unconstitutional, and, citing Lawrence, said the statute...
...canceled a planned cricket series between England and Zimbabwe. The country's athletes are headed to next month's Olympics in Beijing; among them is Kirsty Coventry, who won a swimming gold medal at the Athens Olympics in 2004, earning her the affectionate nickname "golden girl" from Zimbabwe. By contrast, South Africa's athletes were banned from Olympic competitions for three decades, and being barred from international competition in rugby and cricket was a psychological blow to the white minority...
...Vietnam, stagflation and the Iran hostage crisis, Reagan--the nation's oldest President--served as a living link to a stronger, prouder, earlier America. "I would like to be President because I would like to see this country become once again a country where a little 6-year-old girl can grow up knowing the same freedom that I knew when I was 6 years old, growing up in America," he once declared. As a matter of historical fact, that statement was downright bizarre. When Reagan was 6, in 1917, women and most blacks couldn't vote, and America...
