...Year of 1993 -- Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, F.W. de Klerk and Nelson Mandela -- did nothing more and nothing less than find a way to break out.

By that standard, Rabin, Arafat, Mandela and De Klerk might be perceived as odd choices. Neither peacemaking deal is complete. Extremists on all sides threaten to destroy the arrangements, which look at times like fragile shelters being nailed together in a high wind. The regions seem just...
...know opposites attract, and for good girls everywhere this spells trouble.

Last year and thus far this year, UHS has only inoculated individuals who are at high risk, such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and people with chronic medical conditions. Rosenthal emphasized the importance of good hand hygiene in preventing the transmission of the flu. Students should...
...shriek, however, I should note that my homelessness recipe comes with a healthy portion of tough love and a massive side of realism.First, the numbers. Around 800,000 people are homeless on any given night, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Of these, about 32 percent report both mental illness and substance abuse problems, while an additional 31 percent report one of these difficulties. This troubled 63 percent makes up the core of the chronic homeless seen on the streets begging for money.Dealing with this startling and, frankly, embarrassing statistic for the world’s richest nation will require...
