...intolerable side effects. Zyprexa did best (merely 64% dropped out), but, yup, it carries a high risk of weight gain and diabetes. Three other second-generation drugs turned out to be no more effective than the old one, Trilanfon (perphenazine)-a cousin of the sledgehammers but with a somewhat better picture on side effects. As a matter of fact, by one measure, you're better off with the old drug: it costs about $45 a month, while the new ones cost $400 to $500 more...
Here a child-soldier’s tale is not just told but felt, through the voice of Agu himself, which remains spontaneous and somewhat innocent while he tells of his transformation from the boy who sees his father brutally murdered to the beast who “bring[s] the machete up and down and up and down hearing KPWUDA KPWUDA every time and seeing just pink...

Over the five years of the intifadeh, they've come to rule their villages, refugee camps, or towns as gangster fiefs. They were somewhat held in check by the money Yasser Arafat sent them. When Abbas took over as Palestinian leader after Arafat's death in November, he stopped the funds. That makes these groups dangerous and desperate. They've kidnapped foreign aid works and journalists to threaten the Authority. They've also become...
