...105th floor. Wow. Any injuries? Just hold on one second, sir. Hold on ... Don't worry, God is there." 911 OPERATOR, answering an emergency call from the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, in a partial recording--the people inside the WTC cannot be heard--released last week...
...reform. For staff at its Melbourne headquarters, Orica pays $A14,000 a year to a nearby child-care center for priority access to seven full-time places on a waiting list that can otherwise stretch two years.

The bones were obviously old, and when the coroner asked for an opinion, Chatters' off-the-cuff guess, based on the skull's superficially Caucasoid features, was that they probably belonged to a settler from the late 1800s...
Loui Itoh’s column, “Not a Time to Kill” (Mar. 1), carries significant misinformation and sadly perpetuates many of the myths about abortion in an effort to promote a particular moral agenda. Firstly, the term “partial birth abortion” is not a term used by the medical community; it is one used by anti-abortion activists to stir up emotion. Similarly, she defines a 20-week-old fetus as a “child” based on its childlike physical features. Again, the medical community disagrees...
