...Uday's behavior actually exceeded that of his reputation. At the same time, new hints are emerging about his psychological state. Uday, now 38, suffered not only from the anguish of Saddam's disapproval--the son was too unprincipled even for his father--but also often from physical pain as a result of the 1996 attempt on his life. TIME has obtained a three-page medical report that lays out the until now undisclosed gravity of Uday's injuries, which nearly killed him and resulted in a stroke, brain damage and seizures in addition to the wounds to his torso...

Instead he is a first-time father, belatedly resuming the life he abruptly gave...
...finish our tests this week and run into the logistical nightmare of packing up to leave Cambridge, Harvard planners may know our pain. But their final test will come at the end of the summer—when they are slated to announce their plans for how to move part of Harvard itself out of Cambridge, into the University’s new holdings in Allston...
