Programs designed to assist teenage fathers are still relatively few, but their growing number offers hope in arresting the cycle of children producing children. Terry, who is now 21, has a 17-month-old child and is himself the child of teenage parents. After being helped by the Teenage Pregnancy and Parenting Project in San Francisco, he is now a counselor there. "My father was a parent when he was a teenager," Terry says firmly. "My mother and grandmother were. It didn't stop with me or with my brothers. I know it will stop with my son." --By Richard...
Bullishness was busting out all over. Nearly everyone from consumers to financiers was celebrating the belief that the 40-month-old economic recovery, which had slowed late last year to a 1.2% annual growth rate, is accelerating to a faster pace of 3% or more. Even better, many experts think the industrial world's economies are entering a new era, in which low oil prices are triggering a whole series of positive trends, thus creating a boom machine that could hum smoothly for several years...
...most resolute women I've ever met.

Bradford's boyish police chief, Josh Chambliss, 30, is sitting in his neat-as-a-pin living room with wife Farrah and baby Chloe, clicking through an electronic album on his computer of photos he took of life in Baghdad: the palace of Saddam Hussein's son Uday and his infamous rape bed. Bloody, blown-up bodies...
From the outset, the showdown threatened to topple Israel's 14-month-old "national unity" government. The crisis began early in the week when Israeli Minister for Industry and Trade Ariel Sharon publicly accused Prime Minister Shimon Peres of "unparalleled cynicism" in his handling of secret Middle East peace negotiations. Two days later Peres struck back. His ultimatum: Sharon would either have to apologize for the verbal assault or face dismissal, a move that would almost certainly dissolve the coalition government and probably force new elections. Sharon testily countered by offering up a brief "apology." Enraged, Peres dismissed the gesture...
