...undead, it turns out, with no life to sustain or career to advance, have time on their hands. Some of it must be spent on their immaculate hair and to-undie-for abs. But the main business of the day is bloodlust, with an emphasis on the lust. Romance authors--and who can blame them?--find it hard to resist the imagery. Women are "impaled," "scream to wake the dead" and constantly experience a rushing of blood. Not that all female characters are the bitten.

The response has been an atrocious display of violent and misdirected protest, as Muslims in Damascus and Beirut torched embassies and stormed...
...advocate for civil rights; at a hospital in Rosarito Beach, Mexico. After breaking free of rural poverty in Alabama, King met her preacher husband while she was a graduate student at the New England Conservatory of Music. Following the Rev. King's assassination in 1968, she sought to sustain her husband's legacy-largely through the King Center for Non-Violent Social Change, which she founded in Atlanta-while pushing for gender and racial equality under the banner of the civil-rights movement...
