...fallen slabs. At every dusty mound that was once an apartment house, survivors pleaded for help in finding loved ones. "My brother is still there," says Ozgur Taylan, 12, pointing to the remains of the building where he lived in the gutted town of Golcuk. Ozgur and his mother escaped with no time to spare. "I thought I was going...
...willingness to pound his chest, Randy is utterly unable to articulate his political purpose. Josh Anderson at least has a cause. He says he drifted to Straight Edge, and the hard-core, punk rock-like music that is part of the scene, after his mother was ostracized by the Mormon church for coming out as a lesbian.

But even then, when I was his "mother," he still managed in some convoluted way to hold on to one thing...

I remember we looked at each other and Jennifer said, "My dear, I feel like a cross between the Queen Mother and the Beatles."
