Fidel is so overpowering. When you talk to him he looks at you directly, into your eyes. He makes good use of his pale, long fingers, very much like a pianist's, touching you to make a point. He speaks in a circular way, taking you on a fact-filled detour and then back to the main point. Once when I was interviewing him, he turned to his secretary and said, "She is from Galicia, but from a very different background from mine." He then started telling the story of Galicia--the Spanish region from which his father came...

...phone is not a RAZR clone. It's just as slim and, like the hot Samsung a900 Blade for Sprint, it owes much of its appeal to Motorola's revolutionary handset.

...you’re lucky, you’ll live to be a hundred with perfect teeth and a six-minute mile.Yet such optimistic prognosis is not available to everyone.Take, for example, one-year-old Hassan. Admitted a week ago for malnutrition, pneumonia, and anemia, he is now naked, pale, and wide eyed; his frail ribcage is clearly visible through almost translucent skin. I hold his hands to the blood- and urine-stained mattress as a nurse in flip-flops sticks him repeatedly with a needle, trying to transfuse a unit of expired blood.A fly lands on his eyeball...
