...cocaine problem, abruptly drops off Ryan, 9, her son by another man. Shaken out from the shambles of Sylvia's life into Howie's barely more ordered household, Ryan inserts himself warily into what everyone knows will be a short-term arrangement. Seasoned readers, or TV-movie viewers, may suspect they see what's coming here. Needy, difficult boy meets needy, remote man. And while it's true that before the last page, hugs are hugged and a few lessons are learned, King is deeply mindful that life works imperfectly when it works at all. He feels his way into...
...troop presence. The establishment of a popularly elected government, in the U.S. view, would help erode support for the insurgency. But it's highly likely that the vote will be compromised by violence and plagued by Sunni underparticipation, and that means the legitimacy of the new government will be suspect from the start.

So far, 61--about 20% of all sweeps--have produced significant matches, helping push an investigation toward a suspect and, on numerous occasions, a conviction. In 1998 Str??cklingen, Germany, undertook the largest collection to date. More than 16,000 men in a rural town were sampled after a girl, 11, was raped and strangled. In a quest to restore the town's innocence, entire soccer teams took...
Gentlemen: I must confess serious doubts about the efficacy—or even the integrity—of the “classic” exam period editorial, “Beating the System,” you reprinted recently. I almost suspect this so-called “Donald Carswell ’50” of being rather one of Us—the Bad Guys—than one of you. If your readers have been following Mr. Carswell’s advice for the last 11 years, then your readers have been going down the tubes...
