...Marticles." (Luckily, he was amused.) My 1997 Datamatch results. (I had been hopeful--my parents met through it without even attending Harvard--but destiny awaited me elsewhere.) A quote from a student in a class I shopped that made it clear I couldn't take the course: "In this scene, Blanche Dubois is the Uberfemme. She is a stereotype of herself, creating her own moral universe." Blow-by-blow reenactments of romantic encounters between friends, delivered directly to my inbox-most of which are quite hysterical in retrospect (but don't tell them that until the 25th reunion; they...
...rebels need the help. The U.S. has considered using the small army as a kind of proxy ground force inside Kosovo. So far, no such move has been made, though ties to the group are growing: U.S. diplomats meet with K.L.A. leaders; K.L.A. commanders on the scene provide target information to NATO military planners; and the alliance has even made arrangements for the K.L.A. to help rescue downed pilots. In a tenuous first step toward direct backing of the K.L.A., the White House is considering sending nonlethal aid such as food, uniforms and communications equipment, Administration sources tell TIME...
...Oklahomans, the scene of destruction conjured up the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Much of their state was in textbook chaos: trees in living rooms, roofs blown off, crumpled cars in fields where cows should have been and dead livestock festooning parking lots.

In Mulhall, a hamlet north of Oklahoma City, the only store was flattened, the water tower torn down, and every one of the 200 homes damaged...
Where there is no consolation, there is now counseling. But is it necessarily helpful? The huge growth in such on-the-scene therapy has raised questions about the value of pouring out one's grief to the social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and clergy who are invariably on hand at disasters to lend empathic support. If local resources feel the strain, the Red Cross, Salvation Army, National Organization for Victim Assistance and a host of other nonprofit organizations send in volunteers. During presidentially declared disasters, the Center for Mental Health Services contributes federal funds for counseling. It spent $10 million last...
...debriefed" on the beaches of Normandy. In the 1970s, Jeffrey Mitchell, then a paramedic and now president of the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, developed one of the most popular debriefing models. Intended to be used in conjunction with other services, such as one-on-one counseling and on-scene support, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing is conducted in groups a couple of days after a disaster. Typical questions include "What were the first thoughts that raced through your mind at the time of the crisis?" and "What was the worst moment...
