...announcement comes just days before the Christian Science Monitor begins publishing Carroll's 11-part chronicle of her abduction and detention - the first installment will be available on the paper's website Sunday night. With the help of Monitor senior writer Peter Grier, who offers a contextual narrative of what was happening in Boston, Washington and Baghdad while she was shuffled from safe house to safe house, Carroll recounts the hardship and, often, the irony of her captivity: "How do you channel-surf with the mujahedeen?" she writes at one point.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Moses, Donald Trump's Barron, Joely Fisher's True and Brooke Shields' Grier (who was born in the same hospital and on the same day as Suri) all proved that Mom and Dad are creative types. Welcome to the world, Suri. You're going to find it a pretty strange place...
...it’s difficult playing away from home and having so many people cheering for the other team.”O’Riain and Anderson continued to prove why they are in the top ten in doubles with a 9-8 victory over No. 8 Cristelle Grier and Alexis Prousis at the No. 1 court. The win, however, came after the Wildcats had won, 8-0 and 8-4, in the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles positions to claim the first point of the match.“We are struggling a bit in doubles...
