...Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have intercepted 14 boats and made 122 arrests. This year they are on pace to double their record arrest total for 2008.

...me—another year to be spent looking out on pavement and fading skid marks. Rereading the interhouse transfer policy for the umpteenth time, I accepted the fact that PfoHo was my unchangeable fate for a predetermined period. Nine months, in fact. Like the baby daddy of a pregnant Catholic schoolgirl, I had to stay with the carrier of my pfetus until I could find another woman.Yet I needed a little loving myself during this awkward time. Like many a baby daddy, I started seeing someone else to take my mind off PfoHo. Her name was Dunster. Surprising...
