Among the 45-and-over set, senior citizens in particular have little exposure to sexual-health information, and few places to seek it out. Primary-care physicians would be the natural source, but Lee worries that too many doctors avoid the topic because they feel uncomfortable discussing it with older patients, or worse, they make the "dangerous assumption that older people are not engaging in sex after a certain age." That lack of communication perpetuates ignorance. So, Lee says that until comprehensive sex-ed measures are established for older people, it may fall to younger generations to teach their elders...

Even with that grim knowledge, Israeli pressed ahead with the war, in a fruitless attempt to crush the Lebanese militia. When the war ended, Israel began in earnest to seek Regev and Goldwasser's return, even if that meant collecting two coffins...
Technically, the UNHCR's brief doesn't extend to economic migrants, whether South Asians in the Gulf, Mexicans in the U.S., or Africans in Europe.

The difference in per capita income between the U.S. and Mexico is among the greatest cross-border contrasts in the world, according to David Kennedy, a noted historian at Stanford. As long as that remains true, the border fence will be under...
...policies but also their experience of the Holy Spirit, their favorite Scriptures and the focus of their prayers. And so we treat their pastors as partisan players, their churches as focus groups. How is that likely to affect the choices candidates make, the churches they join, the counsel they seek? Will they have to vet their congregations the way they do their Cabinets? Or follow Richard Nixon's example and move services into the White House, where he found them to be the ideal opportunity to reward friends and woo donors and twist arms, all the while singing, "He will...
