Beattie is influenced by popular ideas born in the 1960s and 1970s. She adores Richard Bach's "metaphysical classic" The Bridge Across Forever: A Lovestory. She "really connected" with Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and mentions her debt to transactional analysis. Beattie also strongly endorses 12-step programs tailored to the needs of codependents, which entail detaching from the addict, admitting powerlessness over the addiction and turning one's life over to God or a "higher power." Her latest book is Codependents' Guide to the 12 Steps. She says, "Go until the magic works on you. And if you go long enough...
...took the jury less than four hours to decide the sentence: death by lethal injection. If the judge ratifies the jury's recommendation next month, as expected, Faye Copeland, 69, will become the oldest woman in the nation on death row. Last week Livingston County jurors ordered the ultimate punishment for the Missouri great-grandmother for her role in the bizarre killings of five drifters to cover up a cattle-rustling scheme...

After Miss Mule at a cautious distance marched Toad and friends -- the guide Chrissie Aldrich, the Kitich Camp manager Ian Cameron and the others. And last, the ten donkeys that carried water and food (short rations that got shorter as the days passed and the wild walking grew more wonderful). The donkeys advanced along the trail like a party of schoolgirls in dove-gray uniforms, sociable and disorderly, the sheer din of their progress driving off elephants and lions and all other wilder...
...their credit, Livingston and Beardsley have stuck to their guns and striven to choose the art on artistic, not sociological, grounds. One may gripe about the presence or absence of this or that name. (Why, for example, was someone as distinguished and inventive as Puerto Rico's Rafael Ferrer left out?) But, in the main, the show is a real revelation...
