Though I was born after Vatican II, I did not grow up comprehending the liturgy. In Japan, Mass was said in a traditional form of Japanese too obscure for me to grasp. Twelve years of Sunday school--held inexplicably and inconveniently on Saturdays--did not help clarify all the mysteries of the missal. My father instructed us to spend the time in prayer. I inspected Jesus on the Cross and wondered what he thought of my life. I inspected the boy across the aisle and wondered what he thought of my hair. There were times I thought I would pass...
That’s because since 1955, a growing prevalence of factories and pollution-emitting businesses along the river have made it unsafe for humans. In addition, an increasing number of various bacteria and toxic sediment have, due to its location on the river’s floor, been able to sit, then grow and spread, according to Lawaetz...
...team, led by Dr. Jim Olson, spent three years developing the compound and has tested it in a variety of human tumors grown in mice. "The target we are hitting is something that most cancer cells use to eat away normal tissue to make space for the cancer to grow," he says. So far the researchers have successfully illuminated five kinds of cancers: gliomas and medulloblastomas in the brain, sarcomas in muscles, and prostate and colon cancers. They expect to begin testing the agent in human patients next year...
...Britain's consumers groan. With household debt in the U.K. more than doubling over the last decade to $2.6 trillion, and Britons' rate of saving at its lowest level since the 1960s, rising interest rates will hit pocketbooks hard.

The threat of rising rates triggering a downturn is "greater today than it has been in the 10 years Labour have been in power," says Adrian Cooper, managing director...
...City, London's fiercely competitive financial center, the number of new jobs is set to slip by two-thirds this year, according to the capital's Centre for Economics and Business Research. But despite the doom and gloom, there's still room enough for specialist sectors to grow handsomely. London's leading share of international markets means Britain's financial services sector should still grow by 4.7% this year, according to Ernst & Young. And that will surely make it into the Chancellor's speech...
