...While the numbers might give one state bragging rights over its neighbors, the researchers were less concerned about lines on the map. "Health conditions and risk factors do not respect state boundaries," they wrote. What counts more, Zack and Moriarty stated, are regional trends. They tracked the worst emotional storm fronts moving across the Mississippi Valley, the Appalachians and the Four Corners region of the West; the far north and portions of the plain states had the fewest clouds...
...Always write with a compass but not a map,” says Ceridwen Dovey ’03, quoting the contemporary Spanish author Javier Marias to describe the way she approaches writing. Dovey’s first novel, “Blood Kin,” follows the paths of three members of a presidential staff in a nameless country. “Blood Kin” was published in 2007, and since then, Dovey’s debut novel has accumulated a growing catalog of literary prizes and sparkling reviews.

Indeed, two-thirds of Helmand province, the prime poppy-growing area, was colored black, which meant it is in Taliban control. Helmand and its neighbor, Kandahar province, is where most of the 17,000 additional U.S. troops are headed. They will arrive just as the poppy crop...
