...that mistake; I made it anyway." As a detective, O is as hard-boiled as they come, a barely subordinate loner with a disdain for the pins of the Leaders that every North Korean is expected to wear and a woodworking hobby that threatens to earn him an "antisocial" note in his file. ("Why the hell can't you just smoke, like everyone else?" the Chief Inspector complains.) But O gets results, and when the body of a Western diplomat is discovered in a room at Pyongyang's biggest hotel-the stiff in the book's title-he is quickly...
Ashley may be an extreme case, but she is a terrifying precedent. Critics note that development in the disabled can come very, very slowly, so deciding when a child is only 6 to change her body irreversibly could amount to a medical form of identity theft. Ann McDonald-Cacho in Berkeley, Calif., was told there was no hope for her son Philip, who had a diagnosis of the same condition as Ashley's.

A year which promised renewal and change has given us little, and we hope the future University President and FAS dean take note: While this faculty may buck off your leadership, without it, there’s just "insufficient business...
...Doctors watching it all from the sidelines note that there are serious medical questions at stake. For one thing, there is no way to know the effect of high-dose estrogen on such a young girl. "Before moving forward wholesale, we need to study it carefully," says Dr. Jeffrey Brosco, an associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Miami, who wrote a dissent in the journal where the case was published. "Right now it is truly an experimental treatment." But he is sure there will be more interest: just last week a family he treats had to put their...
