Armstrong considers herself a feminist. But she argues that while it might not be right to call God exclusively "he," it is equally mistaken to regard God as "she." This makes God into a being. She notes, however, that much of the gender politics of God may come from the inflexibility of English. Other languages allow God to transcend sex. In Arabic, for example, the supreme name for God, al-Lah, is masculine, but his other names, "the Compassionate" (al- Rahmat) and "the Merciful" (al-Rahim), are feminine...
...Madonna and Jackson retreated to some celebrity inner sanctum with security befitting a visiting Pope, but the young garage-band superstars -- Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Spin Doctors -- were as ingenuous and casual as their audience. Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was mistaken for a nobody until he produced his all- access laminated pass for an effusively apologetic security guard. When his wife Courtney Love appeared with their infant daughter, she pleaded with the paparazzi, "Hold it, my baby needs some psychic space."

When Mudge's verdict was proved tragically mistaken last week, a public outcry ensued. Mudge reportedly received two death threats, and was placed under 24-hour police protection. He remained incommunicado, but his wife told the Boston Globe that he was taking Lewis' death very hard. Because the conflict between his diagnosis and that of the New England Baptist group was so public, it amounted to a breach of professional etiquette; but it raised no question of malpractice. A wrong diagnosis is different from a negligent one. "The word here is causation," says Leo Boyle, a leading Boston malpractice lawyer...
