...dated from Nov. 6, my mother was injected with prostaglandin hormones to induce pregnancy. Apparently I was in no hurry to leave—and can you blame me? With an entire womb to myself, the chance to swim all day and all the food I could eat, pre-natal life was a breeze. But the obstetrician’s vacation schedule and my mother’s impatience meant my life in the womb had to end. I screamed as my own mother evicted me from her cozy uterus...
...horns on that one," game farmer Richard Horsley says admiringly, pointing to a large male nyala, one of 10 coarse-haired African antelope waiting to go on the block at the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife game auction in the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi regional park in northern KwaZulu- Natal. "They've got a nice turn to them and they're spread nice and far, tip to tip. That's a beauty." "Very symmetrical," agrees a friend. I want to show off my animal knowledge, so I break in: "The horns are a good indicator of the animal's health, no?" The men turn...

Her murder may have been simple anti-Americanism, since it followed one of Osama bin Laden's bellicose edicts. But the New York Times reported that members of the Alliance--which flew a banner emblazoned with the Arabic...
...awful fill'd my boding mind! The poor unhappy slaves rose to my view, My former guilt, their wounds now bled anew; I heard their sighs, and saw their big round tears, Wept as they wept, and fear'd with all their fears; Methought I saw once more their natal shore, All stain'd with carnage, red with human gore; Shrouded in blood they now appear'd to stand, And pointed to their agonizing land; I saw the thousands, thousands, thousands slain, On their primeval, their parental plain; Their lacerated limbs, with chains opprest, Their minds, alas! with mighty woes...
