...soldier emerged on the ridgeline. "He didn't say anything-he just shot a grenade at us," Afonza says. It whistled over the family's heads and dropped over the ridge. "I picked up my son and ran. Then I felt something like a stinging slap on my neck and I fell over and looked down. There was blood on my son. I thought, He's been shot...
...begins with the closeup of an old lady's craggy face. Pull back a little, and see she is wearing a nun's wimple; back a bit more, and discover that she is buried up to her neck on the beach. Cut to the image of a pretty, sad-eyed young woman who's nearly run over by a bus. Then to shots of a girls' volleyball game, their grace and strength italicized by being filmed in slow motion.

He runs downstairs and collapses into the arms of a sergeant...
Whiplash was just the first agony that Kevin Miller, 45, suffered in a car accident last July. The second was sticker shock. The self-employed and uninsured chiropractor from Eunice, La., learned that it would cost $90,000 to get the herniated disk in his neck repaired. So, over the objections of his doctors, he turned to the Internet and made an appointment with Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok, the marble-floored mecca of the medical trade that--with its liveried bellhops, fountains and restaurants--resembles a grand hotel more than a clinic. There a U.S.-trained surgeon fixed Miller...
