...from a fan’s standpoint, I don’t want to see a clearly struggling Kobe Bryant on the court. If his heart isn’t the game, it’s not fair to his teammates or to himself. And how could your heart be in the game when you’re facing the biggest trial since OJ waiting in the near future...
...Ramallah compound in which Arafat has been holed up for the best part of two years is hardly the most conducive environment for invasive surgery. It would, in theory, be possible to erect a surgical suite at the compound, but hospitalization would certainly be preferable from a medical standpoint.

If I am looking for a girlfriend, being a nudist is actually better"--better from a moral standpoint, he clarifies--"because I think [nudism] is less sexual than trying to get attention with certain outfits." Nudists as moralizers? There's more. The presence of so many kids at nudist resorts has resulted in a proliferation of rules governing naked behavior. Nudists may ignore the No. 1 precept...
