...year-old male who had a radical prostatectomy two years ago, I say shame on any health-care provider who feels that a PSA test can lead to widespread unnecessary treatment and withholds it from patients. Along with the view that there is no need to test in younger men, this attitude prevailed when my cancer was discovered. If I had not been an R.N. and a member of a hospital's administrative team, I might have gone untreated. It still took two years before an abnormal PSA and a rectal exam led to a correct diagnosis. I salute General...
...FATHER OF THOMAS HAMILTON, 65-year-old Thomas Watt, "can't live with" what happened in Dunblane and thinks he brought a monster into the world. Rather than indulging in these self-absorbed histrionics, Watt should feel shame for abandoning his son when the boy was only 18 months old and for never taking a bit of interest in his child in the years since.

...communist-nationalist--alliance that shook the democrats in parliament a few years ago.

His basic appeal is to all who feel anger, pain and shame at the demise of the great Soviet Union and the decline of their own personal fortunes. One recruit is Alexei Podberyozkin, chairman of a patriotic political organization called the Spiritual Heritage Movement, who argues, "Russia is an empire. It is Russia's historic fate that it cannot exist on any other...
...packin' penguin in The Wrong Trousers or courting a sheep-napping femme fatale in A Close Shave--and Gromit will pitch us a conspiratorial sigh with a mute eloquence worthy of Buster Keaton. The put-upon pooch will then save Wallace in a breathless climax whose brio and ingenuity shame any live-action thriller...
