...Rudy: Organize This! Joe Klein's "Passing the Torch" was a tonic for me [Nov. 17]. During the Republican Convention, when Rudy Giuliani sneered that he didn't know what a community organizer is and Sarah Palin made similar sarcastic remarks, the insult was personal and deep. My mother, a beloved longtime community organizer, has been gone for 10 years, yet her accomplishments in the communities she loved are still lauded and taught to a new generation. Klein's comment - "This is who [community organizers] are: they are the people who won this election" - was a balm. Julie Yugend-Green...

And so when the alarms went out on Wednesday night, it looked like Mumbai was being hit by another one of those attacks.

...case is having some equally unsettling repercussions in Papua. Dr. John Manangsang, who admits the case was an extreme one, has drafted a new bill that would legalize implanting microchips into HIV-infected people deemed to be purposefully infecting others with the life-threatening virus. "The chip would work similar to the chips they use to track birds and animals considered endangered species," explains the doctor, who also sits in the local parliament and proposed legislation to pass the human microchipping. "I don't expect many would be tagged, but after coming across so many HIV cases in my years...
