...that. Or maybe we're drawn to it and repelled by it at the same time. Of course, I imagine a twin would look at the rest of us somewhat pityingly, because if you're a twin, you really do have a soul mate. I've talked to a lot of twins, and they've all mentioned that you feel the need to make yourself into an individual. You're always a twin, but the question, I think, for any pair of twins is, How's that going to work once we get married and have children...
...there a noticeable difference between European cemeteries and American cemeteries? Well, a lot of communities in America have passed laws saying that cemeteries have to be flat so that you can run a lawnmower over it. To me, that kind of sums up the modern American attitude. Some of the European cemeteries, on the other hand, are so old that the graves no longer have family connected with them to take care of them, they're running out of space, and there are issues about who's going to pay for the upkeep.

Sanz, however, insists that Iranian experts have concluded Venezuela "has a lot of uranium." If so, the other big question is whether Venezuela itself will really pursue a nuclear-energy program. Like oil-rich Iran, it's hardly in urgent need of nuclear power: Venezuela has the western hemisphere's largest crude reserves, and 75% of its electricity is hydro-generated. It abandoned its one test nuclear reactor 15 years ago. Still, Chávez says the country needs alternatives, and has struck a deal to receive nuclear-fuel-technology aid from Russia, Venezuela's top arms supplier...
