...cops and I all crossed a line; it was a little bit of a rush for me. How about for them? Orthopedic surgeons are a practical lot. In fact, practical considerations probably "justified" swiping the knife. But couldn't one easily justify everything that night, including a ghetto kid's making a living as a burglar, or the tired cops leaving a potential weapon on him at the hospital, or even ramming him in a dangerous chase in the first place...
...some kind of independent coaching, which can range in price from $469 for Kaplan's three-hour consultation by webcam to $36,000 for four years of hand holding offered by superconsultant Michele Hernandez.

On his last visit to see his son, he purchased a prize greyhound, whose registered name - Beer Rebel Heaven - Zamir struggles to pronounce. "I just call him Jaggu," he says, meaning powerful. Many Pakistanis have dogs, but few treat them as pets, as Islam considers dogs...
...Rashid Rauf as "very likable, straight, genuine people." The last time he saw Rauf was at the funeral of his uncle, stabbed to death in what was said to be a family dispute - an incident that reportedly prompted Rauf to flee Britain. "I knew him as a very good kid, from a good family. I never heard anything bad about him. When I heard the news I was shocked."
