...said at a press conference. Her contract may give O'Donnell editorial control, but G & J has veto power, which it apparently felt compelled to use when the star it had hitched its magazine to seemed to be turning into someone else. In the past several months, Rosie has shed her friendly suburban TV persona, revealed that she is a lesbian and restyled her hair in a way not altogether flattering. O'Donnell also reportedly tried to fire an editor days after she had been appointed by the publisher. After O'Donnell quit, G & J's chief marketing officer said...
...guilty of treason for plotting to overthrow the country's ruling military junta. The sentence: death by hanging for Aye Zaw Win, Ne Win's 54-year-old son-in-law, and grandsons Aye Ne Win, 25; Kyaw Ne Win, 23; and Zwe Ne Win, 21. Few tears were shed over the convicted.

What's more, the vertebrae in Tut's neck were fused--a sign of a musculoskeletal malformation called Klippel-Feil syndrome.

Other 21st century tools--which can search for diseases or provide images more detailed than X rays--might shed more light, and King and Cooper would have liked the chance to use them too. "Criminal behavior is criminal behavior," Cooper says. "It doesn't matter if it's today or 3,500 years ago." The statute of limitations on some crimes, it appears, will never...
...poetry lover, I was appalled. As a feminist, I was hardly surprised. After all, this eight-page “Spotlight on Women” seemed dedicated to misconstruing the words and experiences of Harvard women. This was not a spotlight in any real sense: light was not shed equally on all parts of women’s Harvard experiences; rather, a rosy, obfuscating glow emanated from the entire publication...
