...bloody Mafia attacks: "This people, the Sicilian people, so attached to life, who love life, who give life, cannot continue to live under the pressure of ... a culture of death. I say to those responsible: Convert! Convert! One day the judgment of God will come!" These words should take root in the conscience of all who call themselves Christian. Yet destroying the bond between politics and organized crime is not just an ethical choice, but a vital necessity for democracy and a basic exercise of self-defense...
What happens at 44? Lots of things, but none that can be pinned down as the root cause of unhappiness. It's not anxiety from the kids, for starters.

According to Ted Mayer, HUDS’ Executive Director, “When we planned the menu back in the summer, we accommodated for this annual rise in produce prices”—by limiting fresh...
...Administration going back years now. I have asked them to engage much more directly, to have high-level presidential envoy between Musharraf and Afghanistan and set some real goals in terms of our expectations about Musharraf... And they just steadfastly refuse to do that. I think that is the root of the problem. This is a complex society and it may very well be that President Musharraf has not mapped out his terms, but if he were to leave we are in no position, having done so little to support the potential successors, to really know what...
