...maimings-athletic, psychological and sexual-occur without letup. Their culmination is the madness and chaos of the rattlesnake hunt itself, with the implication that the ancient, once powerful symbol of the snake has been so trivialized it no longer has the capacity to heal.

The meeting had been set up by the Saudis and Kuwait to heal the long-simmering feud between Syria and Egypt. But the Egyptians flatly refused to discuss the principal reason for the feud-last year's Egyptian-Israeli disengagement agreement in Sinai, which Syria still resents. The Syrians, meanwhile, would not listen to Egyptian proposals for a debate on the Lebanese situation; Cairo...
Maude Wood is another potential starter who is out for the season. Wood injured her knee during the basketball season, and let it heal for two months before she started playing lacrosse. Three days after the laxwomen returned from their summer trip, she reinjured...
