...IRAs and pensions has taken a hit and they fear they will have to get part-time jobs to make ends meet. The death last week from anthrax of Ottilie Lundgren, a 94-year-old Connecticut woman, could increase anxiety among the elderly too. Lundgren, like some senior citizens, seldom left home and seemed to be out of harm...
...Mercedes’ aegis. The songs on Everynight Fire Works are so solid and businesslike that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between them (at least for the uninitiated): The album is a barrage of dentist-drill distorted guitars marshalled by driving drums that border on militaristic.

Indeed, for the past two decades, Kalashnikovs and RPG-7 rocket launchers have been the basic tools of Afghan politics. Right now, a broad-based government probably means simply accommodating all of those strong enough to fight their way into the chamber. That may be the dictate of realpolitik. But an equilibrium of force won't be particularly stable in a land where war has become a way of life for men and boys. One outlandish recommendation to those hoping to create...
