...While the turns in her fate or the constant failures of the underground's operations might lead any reasonable person to suspect betrayal, she just keeps forging rather cheerfully on. She treats the steady anti-Semitic mutterings of her colleagues similarly. Well, she seems to say, anti-Semitism has always been an endemic ugliness - why should these guys, however high their ostensible principles, be any different? She clings to her innocence even after the war, when she is accused of collaboration and is first brutally degraded by the Dutch, then almost murdered by a collaborator who is the last person...
...same, unfortunately, doesn't hold true for older women. Estrogen and progestin have a habit of aggravating the hard, artery-clogging plaques that develop naturally with age. On the basis of animal studies and other heart-disease trials in human patients, the authors suspect that hormone therapy encourages the clots that form around these plaques to rupture and cause heart attacks. Nonetheless, the latest study offers a backward sort of good news, suggesting that intense menopausal symptoms may be a kind of early warning system, since women who suffer the most also tend to harbor more risk factors for heart...
...well that version did is hard to pin down. Strong sales were reported, but Keret's publishers suspect that Hamas bought the books and burned them, lest ordinary Palestinians read them.

But (as I suspect you knew) I don't have kids, so of course I don't have "regular contact" with teenagers-that would be a little creepy. It would also be irrelevant to the University of Michigan Monitoring the Future data, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. These surveys of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders show that drug use has decreased since 1995. As for hospital-admission data, you offer none for the last five years...
...intelligence officers suspect that the leader of Sunni insurgent forces in Buhriz lives less than three miles from the home of the leading Shi'ite in the valley, Sheik Adnan Qudban Hamid. Few, a graduate of West Point's class of 2000, spent much of his previous time in the valley working to bolster Hamid. After Few's men left the valley for Baghdad three months ago, the increase in violence restricted Hamid to his compound, keeping him from traveling the roads at all. When Few returned to visit Hamid, the sheik embraced him. "I love you!" Hamid said...
