...have a right to be surprised: after all, there's been some degree of speculation that the world was supposed to end today. While looking through a mall bookstore, I recently came across a book in the history section entitled "5/5/2000." The book's thesis is that that today, May 5, 2000, is "the first time in 6,000 years" when "all the planets of our solar system will be arrayed in practically a straight line across space." This arrangement will cause the mass accumulated in Antarctic ice caps to topple, causing "a catastrophic shifting of the Earth's tectonic...
...only other experience in New Hampshire was a plummeting run down Tuckerman’s Ravine so I was excited to see what else the “Live Free or Die” state had to offer. As we pulled off the highway, the usual American strip mall accessories of McDonalds, 7-11 and Mobil prevailed.

Boys are a big part of the clientele at Muscle Mania (not its real name), a weight-lifting store that TIME visited last week at a strip mall in a Boston suburb. A couple of teenagers came in to ask about tribulus, one of the many over-the-counter drugs and body-building supplements the store sells, all legally...
Since November, Carol Price has been an organizer of the Million Mom March on behalf of "commonsense" gun control, scheduled for Mother's Day on the Mall in Washington. Donna Dees Thomases, the New Jersey publicist and mother of two who launched plans for the march, says that Price's public anguish speaks for thousands of families branded by gun violence--and furious at legislative inaction...
