...thank you" said Anna. A chiropractor and an acupuncturist have not helped. Her medical doctor put her on a diet and she did feel good about losing some weight - but the pains continued. She even went to a famous back doctor in the city who told her the problem was actually in her head; not surprisingly, this information also failed to relieve the pain. And so she finally made it to the "most famous orthopedic surgeon" - in my house at dinnertime anyway - trembling with the expectation of my bold new treatment plan and a rapid cure...
...time some people got out of cloud-cuckoo-land and into reality. Action, not words, saves lives when terrorism is involved. Millions more would have been saved if we had acted "illegally" toward the Nazi regime in the 1930s. The free world has much to thank George W.

Jesus and his disciples did not preach that God can give us what we want. Their message concerned the ways we can best serve God. The world would be a better place if people spent more time living the gospel message and less time twisting it to justify selfish behavior...
...Thank the cruel, vengeful gods for Cormac McCarthy, who delivers a much more comprehensive apocalypse in The Road (Knopf; 241 pages), which is about half the length of Thirteen Moons but 20 times as ruthless. The scenario: a man and his son push a shopping cart with a wiggly wheel through a landscape from which all plant and animal life has been scoured by some undefined but definitive calamity--we know only of "a long shear of light and then a series of low concussions" that left survivors "sitting on the sidewalk in the dawn half immolate and smoking...
