...story's closing line read??"A man's car is still his castle, and you don't pick a castle for its energy efficiency." Flip a few pages to the heartbreaking stories of our fallen heroes, many of whom have left behind parents who do not support the war. Isn't the war in part about the future of our fuel supply? The 25% boost in SUV sales and the $130 spent at the pump show that we support the war. Setting aside the issue of global warming, how can we think so little about where all this...

...they can read??CDs, remove tattoos and repair detached retinas. But in 1960, when physicist Theodore Maiman unveiled the first working laser at a New York City news conference, only a few grasped the device's potential. The trick to creating the tiny, potent pink force that won him world fame: selecting as his medium synthetic rubies, which had been dismissed by many scientists, and using pulsing, rather than continuous, light...

...mother, I shuddered to read??Madonna's pathetically low benchmark for motherhood: "Even if I'm the worst mother in the world, I'm better than death!"

...always a little funny to read??what adults are saying about us kids. I'm a 17-year-old who does not own an iPod, has been on MySpace.com only once and has to be reminded by my mother to bring my cell phone anywhere. Who IMs their friends before school to ask what they're wearing? Maybe my friends and I are way behind the times, but we prefer to hit the snooze button in the morning and handle technology after 3 p.m. Then again, I realized I was reading your article while waiting for my e-mail...

...felt sick to my stomach when I read??how Abramoff got the Coushatta Indians to trust him by suggesting that he knew the pain, loss and mistreatment of the tribe because of his birthright as an Orthodox Jew. And then the lobbyist scammed them for millions. I can tell you that Abramoff's actions in no way reflect the heritage, teachings, honor and dignity of the Jewish faith that I was raised in. Abramoff is a poseur, disgracing other Jews by his deceitful actions. SHARON ZEIDAN Los Angeles...
