...Baghdad ER" is a raw, unflinching look at the human cost of the three-year conflict. The doctors and nurses who bear witness play starring roles in a documentary that offers close-ups of medical heroes at work and play. Not surprisingly, a few voice despair over the extent and relentlessness of the carnage. But their words reflect compassion more than partisanship, something the Washington brass could embrace as a sign of commitment to save every life. The film quotes a soldier saying he and his buddies are comforted to know "there's still a chance we'll survive...
...unanimity among theologians and biologists, and a Communications Office—and yet there was no rebuttal even to an ignorant Associated Press story last year, headlined “Harvard Joins Evolution Debate,” which implied that Harvard researchers’ work on the origins of raw molecular rudiments had something to do with science’s account of the origins of species. A more spectacular example of willful wrongness involves elementary textual interpretation. The U.S.’ current executive branch is working under a dead-wrong theory about the nature of its power...
...Complete it may be, but the very name "retreat" is a misnomer. This isn't a refuge but a bracing course of exercise combined with a raw food diet, all designed by naturopath Jeans. Stern stuff, yet my fellow captives gaze cow-eyed at the honey-haired Jeans as she maps out the program for the week: yoga at 7 a.m.; a minuscule protein shake at 8:15 along with a vat of celery and cucumber juice that morphs from bland to blah with each mouthful; an 8:30 hike involving prolonged uphill slogs; at 11:15 more juice...
...yomps. Jeans herself describes the retreat as "a health boot camp." "The most effective kick start comes from a combination of diet and exercise," she explains. She runs her camp for 12 weeks a year in the Spanish hilltop village of Gauc?n in Andalucia. But it's a movable raw-food feast, with two additional weeks planned in Cornwall, England, this year, and in 2007, for the first time, a long-haul retreat on St. Barts in the French West Indies. Accommodation in all locations is plush, and no more than 10 participants are accepted at one time...
...their captors. Some of these people have already endured the iron regime of Lisa Jeans - and have returned, of their own free will. Complete it may be, but the very name "retreat" is a misnomer. This isn't a refuge but a bracing course of exercise combined with a raw food diet, all designed by naturopath Jeans. Stern stuff, yet my fellow captives gaze cow-eyed at the honey-haired Jeans as she maps out the program for the week: yoga at 7 a.m.; a minuscule protein shake at 8:15 along with a vat of celery and cucumber juice...
