...then discarded a theory linking AIDS to the use of "poppers" (liquid inhalants like amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite), which are said to enhance sexual pleasure and which had been used by many of the victims. Another theory held that repeated anal intercourse introduced sperm into the blood-stream and that this could cause profound immune suppression. Then there was the "immune-overload theory," which was based on the fact that many early AIDS patients were extremely active sexually, with hundreds of partners over the course of their lifetimes and long histories of venereal diseases and infections. Under the accumulated...
Part of him does want to say that. The rest of him knows he does, and knows also how to turn this unworthy greed into a story. But the stream that fills Lake Wobegon, in Mist County, on no map, in central Minnesota, flows from another source.

Yesterday, during a particularly busy moment in the Sala Stampa (Press Room), this Vatican official booted a senior Italian correspondents from the lobby area for no apparent reason. "You and I have an outstanding debt from the beginning of this pontificate," the reporter shouted as he was being led out the door...
...friends and I all traveled close to the beginning of the Iraq war, and all faced a steady stream of outrage at our military, at our president. It was embarrassing when I realized, as a guest at my foreign university, that all the student protest was not directed at the school’s administration, or even at their country’s government, but at mine. Every weekend, residents of my host city Galway would take a two-hour bus ride to Shannon airport to protest its use as a stopover point for U.S. troops. There was anger, palpable...
