The joy emanates from him with such force that he will run toward me with his wide smile and rub his head against my shoulder in an almost feline gesture of pleasure. On days when Noah is in a good mood, when he is humming an up-tempo version of his melody of repeated, nonsensical syllables, we are again reminded that he is capable of great happiness...
...barbarity of the acts. Displaying gory crime-scene photos of the slaughtered family, Skaret emphasized that Green alone bore responsibility for shooting the two adults and two children and said that Green must pay for that choice with his life.

It's odd but charming, a phrase that might also describe the British monarchy for all but convinced republicans. And if the Prince succeeds in his mission...
...Brown,” he says. “You keep doing that and eventually people start to take notice. I didn’t want to do anything else.”But Kantrovitz would not make it past rookie ball in his pro career, thanks to a shoulder injury he suffered during his last year at Brown. Kantrovitz had minor surgery “as sort of a Band-Aid approach” to get him through his senior season. Once in the minors, he had another operation to try and fix the shoulder permanently, but the pain...
