...political, literary, academic and public life, not to mention my life as a human being. How can one say that his poetry, his prose, his national identity, all have been a mistake? I identified with these aspects of my life more than I did with my own face, my height, my hands and feet. How could I say that my whole life was a mistake? One makes mistakes here and there, and when he does he may be willing to announce it to the whole world, but how can one make the statement that he himself, his entire identity...

Indeed, some of the victims remembered being bitten by a tick, although their blood has shown no specific signs of a bacterial or viral invasion. Yet recently the Yale doctors found...
...faith taking the sacraments from the other-is generally seen by Roman Catholics as the final step in the reconciliation of the two churches after a split of more than four centuries. "It would appear that Dr. Coggan is overeager and jumping his fences without due regard for their height," sniffed a Roman Curia official. "We are a long, long way from accepting the Host at the hands of an Anglican pastor...
