...heart suffering, my lungs suffering. The urge to breathe was overwhelming. I'm lucky I did all the training. I trained for five months, pretty hard-core. Every morning I would do CO2 exercises. I'd breathe for 48 minutes, then hold my breath for 12 minutes each hour. I'd do that about three mornings a week. I was able to beat the time I got on Oprah. But that was in a controlled environment, [with] doctors, in a swimming pool, with my body laying horizontal as opposed to upright, which makes it easier to put more air into...
...visiting relatives are as thick and suffocating as the heady fug of chloroform and the sounds of children screaming. A few cases on trolley beds wait outside under a small awning. Though generally well kept, "it's very hard to maintain cleanliness even if you clean every half an hour," says the head of the outpatient department, Dr. P.K. Misra, waving his hand at a heap of bloodied sheets in a corner. "I have visited a few hospitals in the U.S. They are like five-star hotels for us. But we can never match that.

...milk? No? No biggie--just zip to your local supermarket and pick up a carton. Got raw milk? Now that's trickier.

Susan Mueller, a mother of two in Ithaca, N.Y., bought shares in a dairy farm so she could pick up her raw milk and yogurt at a drop-off point closer to home. And they consider themselves lucky. In Manhattan some raw-milk drinkers hire a mule to bring the white stuff...

That's because a series of public holidays create ponts ("bridges") that allow the weekends to eat into the 35-hour work week. And 2008 will be particularly harsh on employers: With the May 1 holiday falling on Thursday, chances are slim that most French employees will show up for work on Friday, either, despite the fact that it's nominally a working day. The pattern will be repeated the following...
...answer varies upon whom one asks. Most big businesses simply eat the lost work days or deduct them from the additional vacation time employees have been accorded since France introduced the 35-hour work week in 2000. Midsize and smaller companies running on tighter budgets say they have a harder time absorbing time lost to ponts; many have begun insisting that staff return to their posts between mid-week holidays and weekends...
