...first learned of his existence back in November, when he was discovered fighting alongside the Taliban at Mazar-i-Sharif. The first images were of a shockingly thin young man, filthy and disoriented. A few days later, he was immortalized on that videotape - pumped full of morphine, in pain, but well pleased with his choice to join the Taliban and above all, remarkably composed...
...Women were having abortions before Roe, and they?ll continue to have them even if the ruling is reversed. Some estimates put the number of illegal abortions during the 1950s and 1960s at more than 1 million. Illegal abortions, of course, very often result in unspeakable pain, sterility or even death. They accounted for 17 percent of pregnancy and childbirth-related deaths in 1965 alone, and even today the World Health Organization estimates 78,000 women die each year from unsafe abortions.

...seemed like the perfect drug, a time-released synthetic opiate that killed pain without making users high. But soon after OxyContin hit the market, sales became suspiciously brisk. Drug abusers had discovered that they could get a heroin-like buzz by crushing the pills before they took them. Almost overnight, OxyContin became the drug of choice on city streets and in the suburbs; it has now been linked to 300 deaths. As the drug skates between success and excess, the manufacturer has come under increased scrutiny for its aggressive marketing campaign...
