...great joy of traveling to Iran doesn't lie just in the country's ancient sites, snowy peaks or lively cities, but in the warmth and generosity of the people. Though Tehran may be the country's cosmopolitan capital, if you want a sense of Iran's human soul, head to the city of Isfahan at the foot of the Zagros Mountains. Home to some of the Islamic world's finest architecture, Isfahan is a living, breathing work of art - and a must for first-time visitors to the country...
...Ponyo has interspecies powers and a low immunity system. Sosuke has cut his finger breaking the jar; she heals it with her touch, and in briefly tasting his blood, she starts to become human.

Some people have said to me, why did you not write more about Charlie Blackwell's political ascension and his becoming governor, and the campaign, and I feel like there are excellent books out there on political campaigns and mine wouldn't add anything to the mix.

...from Winona, Minn. (like many of his peers, he refused to give his full name), talked about the police raid. He said that after the intense search on Friday he and others conversed with police candidly, trying to be as friendly as possible. "We talked to them like human beings for, like, three hours," he says, rubbing his maced hands. "So that's kind of become my mission; to get my point across and help them understand why I'm here. It's been a really liberating experience...
