...cancer when I was 13. Having had cancer at a young age, I look at life very differently, and I can help others understand how they can reach their own milestones in life. I too had chemotherapy and radiation and a whole host of side effects. I have been free of cancer for nearly 20 years, and with the medication I'm on, I stand a good chance of a normal life. Survivor Karen Dyer, featured in your report, is a wonderful role model for all young people. She has shown that one can survive cancer and live a normal...
...three times the amount of rain as you'd expect to find during an average June-August period. According to French press reports, temperatures only reached seasonal averages around 10 times during those same three months, with highs frequently 10 to 20 degrees below normal.

And on the other side of the fence is Catherine Clinton, 55, a dyed-red college professor in Greenwich, Conn., who says, "I have seen friends who have stopped dyeing their hair, and although one or two look really good, others mainly look less like themselves, more drab and less vibrant." Almost without exception, the women...
...Lebanon into battlefield between regional superpowers. Spurred by last summer's war with Israel and by the current struggle between Iran and the U.S. over Lebanon's government, talented young people have been leaving in droves. "We're not a country that can handle big missions," said Haber. "One side wants us to spread democracy in the Middle East, the other side says that we're the country that's going to bring about the downfall of the Israelis and the Americans. They have been pushing the country into a state of survival, and in a state of survival...
