...alongside the Romanian colors at the church gate. Schröder is said to revere his father, and to have been struck by a black-and-white wartime photograph of his dad in a steel helmet that reveals their physical similarities: the same square jaw, steely eyes and prominent nose. And after his own experience sending troops into action during the Kosovo war, the first time since World War II that German soldiers were sent abroad, Schröder felt a new bond with his father, according to his biographer, Jürgen Hogrefe. Schröder "is more serious...
...Beirut, the Sri Lankan nanny riding in the back of the Mercedes or the Range Rover with the kids is an almost ubiquitous sight. And it’s not uncommon to see young upper-class women walking unashamedly in the streets here with big bandages over their noses: plastic surgery is huge in Beirut and a new nose is as much a status symbol as a new car.

...instruments now cast a greenish glow around the skipper. A fixed-wing "Islander" heads back to base at Horn Island as a Coastwatch helicopter (or "helo") code-named Lima 51 flies in to assist in the search; a forward-looking infra-red (flir) detection system in the helo's nose checks out the hides that have been cut in the mangroves around the island.

"They're still out here," Radon says to the others, as the tender rough-rides it back to the ACV. The crew express no animosity toward the elusive Indonesians. "They're not wearing gold chains...
...Gloria holds her nose as her head is dunked underwater. "Our sister has risen from the grave of old ways!" exclaims Les Schulz from the stage. But no sooner than a lone hallelujah is heard, Gloria is whisked backstage in a white dressing gown, to emerge through a side door a few minutes later wearing a smart gray suit. Tears spill down her cheeks. "I've prayed all week that the Lord would give me strength, and he has," she tells the congregation. "I feel like a new lady...
