...mother, sister and family friend had been missing for a month by the time Gina Sund read her poem in front of the thousand or so people who gathered in Modesto, Calif., March 14 to pray for the trio's safe return. "Deep in my heart I know something my mind does not want to learn," said Gina, 13, of Eureka, Calif. "I try to stay strong because I know that's what you'd want your baby to be, but, Mommy, I don't want you to leave...
Whatever hopes Gina may have harbored were crushed last week when authorities found the burned-out Pontiac Grand Prix that had been rented by Gina's mother Carole Sund, 42, for a holiday trip to Yosemite National Park with her daughter Julie, 15, and Silvina Pelosso, 16, a friend from Argentina.

Sargent's relation to America was neither resentful nor yearning, as it is with so many expatriates...
Steptoe, who witnessed many of these changes before his death at 74, in 1988, was an unlikely revolutionary. Born to a church organist father and social-service worker mother in rural Oxfordshire, he decided at an early age to pursue medicine over music. During World War II, he was captured by the Italians after his ship was sunk and got himself tossed into solitary for helping other prisoners escape. Setting up a practice in obstetrics and gynecology after the war, he raised professional eyebrows by pioneering a newfangled fiber-optic device called a laparoscope to perform minimally invasive abdominal surgery...
