...Sally is another incredibly physically fit friend of mine, her blood pressure and fitness level better than those of most teenagers. When taking her son to see an ear, nose and throat specialist for recurrent ear infections, she innocently asked the doctor why she could hear her heart beating when she went to bed. He thought she might have some sinus problems and prescribed some antibiotics and a nasal spray. When she had no relief from her heart's nightly lullaby, she returned to the doctor who ordered a CT scan to further evaluate her sinuses. The CT scan revealed...

Access to the province is notoriously difficult but in recent years human-rights groups have documented a range of abuses by Indonesian...
...Olmert: A friend of mine who's known me for 25 years told me, that perhaps the most striking effect for him was the fact I look so well-prepared for the job that's unbelievable, as if I've prepared all my life. In a way he's right. I know the professional experts of Israeli politics had other forecasts. But I knew one day I would be PM. I've felt for a long time that I knew what needs to be done and that I knew inside me that I had the emotional powers to be able...
