...Platoon. This new one is an up-tempo dirge, an I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag, about his experiences as a young grunt in Viet Nam. Stone means the drama, the carnage, the horror, the horror to be so white-hot they will cauterize and heal the wounds of war, and singe everyone's soul in the process. Well, not quite, but Platoon is still the most impressive movie to deal with the fighting in Viet Nam. Apocalypse Now was, by comparison, all machismo and mysticism; Stone's film is a document written in blood that after...
...organizations, we located the girl, Insha Afsar, 7, in a camp in Kamsar, just north of Muzaffarabad, Pakistan. TIME news director Howard Chua-Eoan personally paid for her to travel to the U.S. with her father for treatment. The Shriners arranged for free medical care for her, while the Heal the Children Foundation found a family in Connecticut to put up Insha and her father. She has since been fitted with a special prosthesis, which will have to be adjusted as she grows. Insha and her father came to TIME a few days ago. Before this trip...

"It's action that provides the opportunity for change." Limerick found hers through exercise. Instead of crying during her nightly Marty Robbins sessions, she began exercising to the music. "I was totally out of shape, and I started doing jumping jacks to the mournful song," she recalls. "It felt really good." Limerick continued to lean on her friends but found different ways to be with them. One took her shopping...
...attempt to nail down the question of whether prayer really can heal, six hospitals had strangers say prayers for 1,800 coronary-bypass patients and then studied the postoperative complications. Patients who were told they might or might not be prayed for had roughly the same complication rate, whatever their prayer status turned out to be. But those who were told for certain that they were in someone's prayers actually did worse. The doctors' tentative explanation: people who knew they were being prayed for might have thought they were sicker than they realized, which could have made their outcomes...
