...Emerson Winchester III, Harvard’s own representative to the 4077th. To B.J. Honnicut, whose quiet manner let him get away with murder. Most of all, farewell to the oldtimers. To the camp fashion consultant, Corporal Klinger. To Father Mulcahey, the perfect priest in the Korean War. To Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan, and to the memory of Frank “No Lips” Burns, who together perfected the art of irritation. And finally to Benjamin Franklin Pierce—Hawkeye—whose limitless storehouse of wit kept American punsters in full...
...that a majority of Britons became homeowners, thanks largely to the encouragement of successive governments. Restrictions imposed on landlords decades earlier had made renting out real estate less lucrative, sparking a gradual sell-off of private properties. A popular scheme launched in 1980 by newly elected Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher granted public-housing tenants the right to buy those homes for knock-down prices.

By 2005, 70% of U.K. homes were owner-occupied, less than in Spain or Italy, but above...

Also, through the adoption process, these parents are generally more familiar with mental health services than non-adoptive parents. Yet after studying more than a thousand children, both adopted and not, Margaret Keyes warns that assumption may be flawed. The Minnesota psychologist and her colleagues found that disparity could be due as often to innate factors such as perinatal care or his birth parents' genes. "The deleterious effects may quite possibly have come before the adoption ever took place," Keyes, the study...
...mosque and state shortly after World War I. The pro-Western political bent did not immediately translate into liberal economics. Corruption, cronyism and protectionism continued to cloud prospects until the 1980s. Even then, after a period of economic liberalization under reformist Prime Minister Turgut Ozal (a pal of Margaret Thatcher's), the old habits died hard. In 2001, Turkey suffered a full-blown financial crisis in which the Turkish currency lost nearly 50% of its value overnight...
