...celebrities [Dec. 26-Jan. 2]: Those stars are to us what the ancients used to regard as angels or gods. In the midst of the congestion of issues and concerns of modern life, celebrities and opinion leaders clear the paths. They deserve our attention and even encouragement, not doubt, scorn or jealousy. But those modern little gods must also be reminded that the archangel Lucifer became a devil. Herein lies the wisdom and a caveat, that each man who is worthy of the respect of others must choose to be an angel or a devil by his acts or inaction...
...Mozart Effect. Listening to Mozart, she now reckons, may not be as important for the brain as the general sense of mood of arousal brought about by doing something that is enjoyable.

But Sarkozy has also tapped into a craving for law and order within the French mainstream, which has recoiled at the rioters' defiance of the authorities. The rioters torched more than 7,500 cars in some...
...Pensacola, Fl., which has one of the largest naval air bases in the country, as well as being home to branches of the marines, navy, and airforce. Downer’s father fought in Vietnam and, upon his return to the U.S., had to deal with the scorn of his fellow countrymen, Downer said. “It’s easy to say that you’re against the war or that you’re against what’s going on over in Iraq, but it’s a lot different when you actually know...
