...sound as though there must be something or someone making me live my life in this manner. Well, there is: me. I choose to spend my time this way, even though it may mean less time for friends, family and relaxing. Call me crazy, but the reason for my overscheduled lifestyle is the love I have for all my chosen activities. Just like with my schooling, I have long-term goals for the sports with which I am involved. Those goals drive me to keep up the hard work. I enjoy what I do and am not planning to stop...
...century missionaries on local culture. Yes, they say, the preachers did some good things, such as curtailing cannibalism and incessant warfare. "But they also put a stop to a lot of our fun," says Puloka.

The interrogation techniques currently used by the U.S. on suspected terrorists appear unethical and outrageous...
...says Eric Denécé, director of the French Center of Intelligence Research in Paris. "These are young men who were born and grew up in Europe. They look like normal Europeans; they sound like normal Europeans; and they harness this seething anger and sense of righteous outrage in a manner adapted to what they see as jihad in Europe." While there is some evidence that the bombing of four Madrid trains on "3/11"--March 11, 2004--was inspired by seasoned radicals who had been to al-Qaeda's Afghan camps before 9/11, those attacks were perpetrated mostly by Moroccans...
