...live to be about 90, I've decided to confront it. This is not just my story. It's true for many women. And I want to socially inoculate as many girls, and boys too, as possible to let them know it doesn't have to be this way. Resist...

...seems to be an inevitable delay in the timetable for the drafting of a new constitution. The relentless bloodletting of the insurgency continues, and most of its victims are Shiites and Kurds.

...shorthand was so short that when we got to the set we were almost monosyllabic. In an ideal way, not in a noncommunicative way. We didn't have to say very much, and that's how it should be.
