...have been conflicting reports on his fate. He was seen alive on one videotape, reported killed on another. Without proof of his death, the Army presumes he is still alive. His family fervently prays that is so. The months have ticked by, and Maupin has been promoted to the rank of specialist and turned 21. While most of the country may have forgotten about him since news of his capture made headlines and his bewildered face under a floppy hat was flashed across America's television screens, his hometown...
...provide the name of their employer and a work e-mail address, both of which NuRide says it verifies before listing people on the site. Users can also specify if they want to ride with only men, women or nonsmokers. And in NuRide's nod to eBay, they can rank one another on a scale of 1 to 5 on criteria ranging from showing up on time to being a safe driver.

I fully accept and understand that chastity among top-rank British royals is rarer than literacy among American presidents. What troubles me, however, is Prince Charles' flagrant disregard for natural law - the law of the jungle, not the law of heaven - in spurning a very young, attractive woman for a plainer specimen one year his senior, to whom he's stayed faithful, by all appearances, until this very...
