...Israelis once tried to kill Mashaal and nearly succeeded. In 1997 two Israeli Mossad agents in Amman tried to assassinate Mashaal, who was allegedly running money and supplies to Palestinian militants in the occupied territories, by smearing his neck with poison. Both would-be assassins were caught, and as Mashaal was dying from the lethal toxin, Jordanian authorities made a deal: they would release the captured Mossad agents in exchange for an antidote to save Mashaal's life. The Israelis complied, and the uproar generated by the botched assassination attempt catapulted Mashaal to the top tier of Hamas' leadership, which...
...polls on July 2, few will gripe that this campaign has been too quiet. The front runner, former Mexico City Mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, has turned his rallies into carnival-style events, with supporters tossing marigold garlands around his neck and hoisting cages with squawking chachalaca birds that wear his opponents' names. To a raucous throng last week in Puebla, south of Mexico City, López pledged to rid the government of the "arrogant, mediocre, lying thieves who cripple this country!" That got the crowd worked up even more...
...know Theodore Roosevelt well from photographs--that round, fully fleshed face, that swelling neck, those teeth. How many people know that we have a record of his voice as well?

It has accents not so different from the ones you hear in the voice of that other Roosevelt, Franklin. Old money courses through every syllable...
...feet, ankles, shins, hands and abdomen. "Can you feel that?" Nolan asks. "Yeah," his patient answers, wincing slightly. Dixon isn't entirely comfortable with needles but he's paid $120 for the weekly sessions since February, after six months of traditional physical therapy failed to cure his strained neck. Six weeks into acupuncture with Nolan, he is feeling much better. "I have no idea why it works," Dixon, 41, says, "but this problem is almost gone." Nolan attributes Dixon's symptoms to an Eastern concept known as a "cold-wind" condition and says the acupuncture treatment rebalances energies...
...fever for the last several days, a slight runny nose, not much of an appetite because her throat hurt, and she was very tired. Tylenol didn't help for a headache that she described as being "all over" her head and a little on her neck. Still, there was no history of headaches or migraines in the family, and her vision was fine except that she could see, as she put it, "more than normal." Her physical exam was significant for hundreds of chicken pox lesions from head to toe, a slightly rigid neck and a refusal to cooperate with...
