Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore knew that placing the Ten Commandments monument in the rotunda of the state's judicial building was wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt compelled to sneak around and have it installed during off-hours [LAW, Sept. 1]. His actions disclose his guilt. He should be jailed for breaking the law by disregarding the court order to remove the monument. The U.S. was built upon the premise of separation of church and state in order to preserve freedom of religion. It is ludicrous that someone like Moore, who is assigned to be a protector...
Americans want to slim down--or at least that's what they say until they get a craving for a cheeseburger and trundle off to the drive-through. So catering to diners' guilt might seem like a dumb move. But several restaurant chains are now aiming at the wannabe-svelte set by offering more nutritional information and leaner cuisines.

...somewhat hackneyed descriptions. But Hosseini has a remarkable ability to imprison the reader in horrific, shatteringly immediate scenes?not least the incident in which Hassan is violated. The result is a sickening sensation of complicity. Like Amir, the reader watches the suffering and does nothing. Hosseini turns that shared guilt into a subtle condemnation of a world that watched the rape of Afghanistan?first by the Soviets, then by regional warlords and the Taliban. True evil, he suggests, comes when good people allow bad things to happen...
