...Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge expanded to saga dimensions. As much as Inman aches to return to a woman he barely knew, but knew he loved, the novel's vivid prose needed to be turned into moving pictures. Paging Anthony Minghella, adapter-director of The English Patient and The Talented Mr. Ripley...
During the height of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic last spring, researchers emphasized that basic infection control and personal responsibility were vital to check the spread of the disease. Maybe they should have taken their own prescription. The latest SARS patient, a medical researcher and lieutenant colonel in Taiwan's army surnamed Chan, apparently contracted the disease in a SARS research lab on Dec. 6. Authorities in Taiwan believe Chan was in a rush to catch a plane to Singapore for a medical conference and hurriedly cleaned up a spill in his lab from a leaky waste...
...Rohrabacher's solution is "a really bad idea," complains A.H.A. executive vice president Richard Pollack. "The mission of hospitals is to take care of people, not to patrol borders." Under current law, doctors and nurses would not violate patient confidentiality by reporting illegal aliens. But such a policy would scare off those patients, says Pollack, and that could have "devastating public-health implications."

The bill could also alienate Hispanic Americans, a group Republicans will be courting...
...invest anywhere, you have to be patient. To invest in Japan, you have to be masochistic. On Dec. 29, 1989, Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index closed at 38,915.87. Some 14 years later, the Nikkei is at 10,410.15--a 73% cumulative loss during a period when U.S. stocks quadrupled in value. Yet suddenly the Japanese market is hopping. The Nikkei is up 17% this year, just a hair behind U.S. stocks...
...times, that we're going to read for half an hour now. I stay there with him, and I read my book. It's something we do together, as much as you can read together. I never thought that I was a great read-aloud parent. I wasn't patient enough. I didn't like the books enough, especially when he was little. Now we do a sort of tag team: he will read a chapter, and I'll read it too, and then we'll talk about it. We're doing it now with the Lemony Snicket books...
